It must be a slow news day in politics. That, or these reporters are getting even lazier. Someone actually posted a story with the following headline, like it was news:
■Poll: Partisanship sways opinions on Palin
It's not that this is unbelievable headline, but it's just not suprising to anyone with any common sense. Now it doesn't really take a genius to figure out that Democrats aren't really going to like whoever Republicans nominate as their VP, and Republicans are going to like the choice for the most part.
I'm beginning to believe that the media thinks Americans are just as stupid as politicians think they are. I can't believe anyone would waste their resources on this kind of poll.
Most of these people are blind followers of the party they belong to anyway. At least, Obama had better hope they are, he didn't beat out Clinton by much, and without those votes, I don't think he can beat McCain. Anyway, it takes a few really stupid people to get a headline like that posted. First, whoever conducted the poll clearly didn't have anything better to do, then someone actually used it as a reference in a story, and finally I would assume these stories have to go through some kind of editor for approval. All that, and it still gets posted as a news headline? Who could this possibly be news to?
The longer this process takes, the more ridiculous everyone associated with it seems to get. Can't we all just vote now and get this over with? What will the news possibly consist of after that Tuesday in November? Could be something relevant, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you.
