I don't care if it's CNN, FOX, or MSNBC. If they are going to have a discussion on something, that discussion should be about exactly what that something is.

You can't enforce honesty among pundit shows. Otherwise the news outlets would all have to shutdown until they got their shit together.

Public opinion is formed by the media. If the media isn't accurate and honest in its representations, then the public is misinformed, which is worse than being uninformed, IMO.

From what I'm seeing among voters this drviers licence thing is small potatoes. They're so pissed off they may take their votes to third party or independent candidates. The
so-called "top tier" candidates from both parties leave a great deal wanting, and that's making the electorate irritable. Key issues aren't being addressed, or-
if they are, the way they're addressed is intellectually insulting and voters feel talked down to or back handed. This isn't something Guiliani or Clinton can fix for their own campaigns without suddenly losing the fincancial support of the corporations and special interests.
But because of the duopoly's open hostility and illegal activity aainst third parties and independent candidates I'm betting voter turnout will remain at 52% or less.
