Media Adventures In The Two Americas

Media Adventures In The Two Americas

Poor press corps! The stories of the day required reporters and cameras to decamp to sad places like the ruined Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans to stand around and cover the "suspension of candidacy" speech of John Edwards, whose hopeful message and passion for standing against poverty were finally derailed after months of media coverage that relentlessly termed his campaign "angry." Also, the Mayor of September Eleventh's departure from Florida left MSNBC's David Shuster shocked and amazed! Why, there weren't any buses for the meeee-dia to ride on! And Rudy had to ride around in a pick-up truck! And carry his own bags, just like a commoner! Awww, don't cry, media! You'll be supping on the gooey ambrosia of KNOW HOPE and STRAIGHT TALK again soon enough and you'll never have to hear about James Low and his cleft palate ever again!
