Bobby, When has the "mass" media ever addressed real issues? They either serve their own agendas or take the white bread/Velveeta approach to journalism. What does it matter, anyway? National (US) politics has gotten so far distant from the "man on the street" that the candidates "stand" on issues usually has little bearing on what will happen after the election. Money talks! -Kyle -----Original Message----- From: greer.bobby [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2000 11:02 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: rats Shakespeare said it best: "Much ado about nothing." As usual, the media is trivializing this election. playing up off hand remarks by the candidates, etc. When will we get to the real issues? Bobby Barber, Kenneth L. wrote: > i guess they are all rats.
