Re: {Political_Views} Half See 2012 Campaign as "Dull," "Too Long"

One expects nothing less from the Corporate Media. Like China denying Tenimen square ever took place the corporate feels that by not reporting what really matters and what people are interested it's is minor or did not happen at all.

    But I'll tell you wait till the next movie or rock star get arrested or dies and it will be 24/7 top headline news of the century.

Half See 2012 Campaign as "Dull," "Too Long" 
Americans are generally critical of the 2012 presidential campaign so far. More say the campaign has been dull (51%) than interesting (35%). With more than a year to go before the election, 50% already say the campaign is too long. The stories getting the most interest last week were the economy, the Ohio wild animals and death of Gadhafi. Read more

Well folks, you can plainly see that the corporately controlled right wing media doesn't want to cover the news that most folks find interesting.  For example 9% of the people say they followed the Occupy Wall Street news story however the percentage of news coverage devoted to the story was a mere 4%, and most of that was from a derisive point of view.  Here's another example: 12% of the people say the followed the "Withdrawal from Iraq" story and yet the percentage of news presented by the  lame stream media was a mere 5%.  Thirteen percent (13%) of us were interested in the escaped wild animals in Ohio story but again the lame stream media devoted a mere 4% of their news coverage to the story.  Lastly 12% of the people were interested in the Republicans' selection for their presidential candidate and yet the so called "news" devoted 17% of their news coverage to that story.  

In other words they aren't covering the stories we want to know more about, but they sure don't want us to miss out on any garbage the Republicon primary candidates are spewing out and filling our airwaves with.
