Why Campaign Coverage Doesn't Serve us Well

Finally!  Finally I am interested with something involved with the political media.

And yes, it's because of yet again, who I'm virtually stalking... Jay Rosen!

He recently posted a tweet linking users to his article and stating, "My new post tries to explain why the campaign coverage you're seeing now doesn't serve you well."

I couldn't agree more.  He explains that reporters today are failing to provide adequate interviews and questions that give us a true, profound understanding of the standpoints and plans of today's governmental candidates.

Even more, critics are suggesting that Reddit can be equally, if not more, effective than actual media professionals, for random individuals can just as easily formulate questions and conversations--if anything, better.  We're uninterested... because we have no reason to be interested.  No wonder politics are so hard to believe and trust.
