Poll question: Why is the GOP-controlled media obsessing over Caroline Kennedy?
Edited on Tue Dec-16-08 08:35 PM by ColbertWatcher
The GOP-controlled media have been pushing this for days now!

It's almost like they don't want to talk about anything else (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=4658565&mesg_id=4658565)!

But, seriously, why the hell can 't the GOP-controlled media talk about anything else?

A. the GOP-controlled media love talking about the Clintons and they love talking about the Kennedys. Bleating on and on about whether Caroline Kennedy will replace Hillary Clinton is a gold mine to them.

B. the GOP-controlled media isn't just talking about Clinton's Senate seat, they're also talking about Blagojevich

C. because the GOP-controlled media don't want to bite the hands that fondle feed them (their GOP party masters)

D. everyone in the GOP-controlled media has a rare form of Tourette's that causes them to say "Clinton" instead of an obscenity; they cannot help but talk about the Clintons

E. I blame The Clenis™

F. I don't know, I don't care

G. Other, please see my reply for my explanation for the GOP's obsession with Caroline Kennedy and Hillary Clinton

H. (ADDED LATE) because it benefits the GOP when their propaganda arm creates the illusion that the Dems are "divided"

I. (ADDED LATE) because the GOP are frightened by "uppity" women

4. It's the way of tabloid journalism
When you don't have a big story, you create one

5. Pandering to the DU audience, who obsess about it too?
Really, there's so much about it on DU, that to blame it on 'GOP-controlled' media is laughable. 'A' and 'B' apply to this site too.
