Who supports whom?
December 21st 2006 05:21
Blogging has been light this week and sorry for that. Catching up. It's interesting how the elections for 2008 are being played up this early. Actually each media outlet has had its favorite candidate since two years ago and one cannot but feel that the entire editorial policy of a news outlet seems to have been shaped by its choice of a candidate.
NYT and IHT are plugging for HIlary Clinton. Times initally went full steaming ahead for Al Gore. I think that Gorementum has lessened considerably and now they are rooting for Obama. In fact, Obama Husein Barama( can anyone with his name win an election?) is a made-up star by the media just like Angelina Jolie. Fortunately, like her he may not have any box-office pull. Since, both are anti-war candidates Time has only become more and more strident in its coverage since the mid-terms. They can afford to.
On the conservative side, John Mccain is loathed by all conservatives but supported by I think Washington Times, a publication which has some profile in concircles. But, he has a a huge supporter overseas in Times of London, if whatever it says has any impact. Giuliani has NYPost at his back, of course. But, it is poor Mitt Romney who doesn't look like he has the support of big media outlet and has been chased with a broomstick by all of them.
