With corporate media what it is, I'm surprised the WSJ reporter would bring this to light. I think Walker is trying to do what George Bush was able to do, control the media and in doing so, the perception people are allowed to have of him. He can't be allowed to be asked questions that would get him off-message, because this is all about being an infomercial, which the media will play along with. Didn't work out that well in Britain at Chatham House, though, did it?<br /><br />It all becomes whether the candidate is viewed as being a nice guy, someone the voter could relate to on a personality level: forget about policies or ideas, it's all about whether you're liked more than the others in this week's popularity poll. Walker's a "fighter" and a "winner," just how his voters wish to view themselves.<br /><br />Besides, does Walker actually carry out the things he campaigns for? The things he really stands for would not be too popular if he came right out and said them. <br /><br />Let's hope and pray our media can stop playing along with this game and get serious about this. Our final choices in November 2016 should not be between tweedledum and tweedledee, with Deez Nuts as the protest vote.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
