I’m not sure when it happened but it must of been recently. I noticed it for the first time when I opened a daily free Washington DC publication for metro riders: MCCAIN LOSING SUPPORT IN CRITICAL SWINGSTATES the article read. Naturally, the article then transitioned into a series of quotes from clearly democratically-biased parties. A construction worker who voted for Bush says: ____; A VA based lawyer who worked with Ronald Regan stated _____; and many more just like that. Quite a shock that a black construction worker and a lawyer who probably spent his whole life in the highly democratic maryland, support Barack Obama. Clearly, this is the most lucid picture of public conception.
With slanderous, defamatory, and shoddily researched pieces appearing regularly in publications across the country about BOTH CANDIDATES, it is refreshing to see a well-written article that appeals to true investigative journalism. I happen to think Mr. Kaufman is right on the money with his points, and given the extent of his research and the outlining of his analytical method behind such research, it’s hard to argue with his conclusions. As I’ve come to expect, Kaufman’s article was also aesthetically, a pleasure to read–but like the media’s slanted portrayal of public opinion, this no longer comes as a surprise…
