What really boggles me is that there are enough actually racist/sexist/painfully awkward things that both candidates said, any number of times before, during, and after the primary. Nobody needs to make this shit up. And yet, they do and it muddies waters that weren't exactly translucent transparent before.

I think part of the reason I live my news-related life through the Daily Show and Fark is that at least in those places, I'll know the bias, if I hadn't already. I know there are people who will fact-check and call foul -- or fail -- and I really, really need that because if I got all my news from even CNN I'd be as air-headed as the people they have gabbering all damned day.

*cough* I have issues with 24/7 news and the culture it's created.
