Jun. 8th, 2007 12:33 pmPaul Krugman calls the presidential candidates on their lies. And the rest of the media on not doing the same.
Please, for all that's great about our constitution and the possibility of maintaining a free press, PLEASE PLEASE attempt to do your job, media. We, the people, beg of you. Yes, the vast majority of the public gets sick of the election process. Yes, tight soundbites and then moving on to Paris' successful hunger strike getting her released from prison (not true, but that's what it sounds like) gets more ratings. But please, at least do a modicum of fact checking if you aren't going to do any true investigative political journalism anymore. PLEASE!! Don't do a replay of the last two crappy presidential elections of biased coverage resulting in a non-qualified person getting the job!!
