The MSM’s Misplaced Obsession with Hillary v. Barack


The mainstream media has decided to make today all about the supposed problems between Barack and Hillary — despite pleas from HRC and others to shut up already.

Think they will pay similar attention to a much more real and deep rift between McCain and Ron Paul supporters.

I don’t know if anyone has done the math, but I’m willing to bet the following:

  • Paul’s counter-convention in St. Paul will outdraw Monday’s PUMA rally by a factor of at least 5 to 1, if not higher.
  • MSM stories about Clinton vs. Obama this week will outnumber MSM stories about McCain vs. Paul next week by an equally high — if not greater — factor.  Let’s say 6 to 1.

Anyone willing to take that bet?
