[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jay the Obscure: [QB] So let me see if I got this. A a not uncritical Newsweek article combined with speculation about the respective amount of ink spilled over presidental canine deaths are "bits of evidence" supporting the idea that the "media" is obsessed with Bill Clinton. Wow. This I gots to see. First though, what exactly do you mean by obsessed? Are you saying that no one in interested in reading about what the only 20th century president ever impeached is doing while out of office? Or could it simply be that you don't care and that this is your anti-Clinton "bias" showing though? A more reasonable explanation would be the substitution of fluff pieces for actual hard news in the mainstream media as it becomes more news-tainment. But if that's what the market wants isn't that what the market gets? Afterall, if people were really so upset about seeing piece after piece after piece about Bill Clinton, wouldn't they just stop watching or subscribing? That would change the "media's" tune real quick since they are owned by large profit-driven corporations afterall. Still, news-tainment is another probematic area which gives us the members of the press fawning over say, George W. Bush as well as expressing interest ing Bill Clinton's post-presidential fund-raising. Oh, and another question. Which is it, a hypothesis of "obsession" or a hypothesis of "bias." You use the two as if interchangable in your post and we both know that they are not. [/QB][/QUOTE]
