No one would deny this is a pivotal election year in the United States. Since each American has to choose which candidate gets his or her vote, you’d think our media would focus on presenting helpful information to inform citizens’ voting preferences for the betterment of our country. You know, like, focus on the issues?!
But no, all of our media outlets continue to focus on the sensational, the scandalous, and the sexy parts of the candidates’ offerings (the latter of which is a stretch). Instead of talking about Lipstick on a Pig, TV news might consider outlining each candidate’s step-by-step plan for healthcare reform. Or how the candidates intend on rescuing us from dependency on oil. But no, it’s much more interesting to talk about what designer jacket Sarah Palin was wearing during her fluff speech, right? And that’s really going to get our country out of this financial crisis and cultural cesspool, right? Riiight. So, to the American mass media that remains bent on primarily covering the superficial and distracting facets of the election, I salute you, with this incredibly sarcastic video.
