Hold your horses Mr. Romney
Mr. Romney Waits only 35 min after being proclaimed the projected winner of the florida primary debates from cnn to proclaim the end of an "Obama era" and the begining of his era. This seems like a very 'cocky' presidential apponent. Its his time he says and "...and now its time for you to get out of the way" Mr. Obama. President Obama won 66,882,230(1) votes in the 2008 presidential campaign he as the experience of winnig every single one of those votes. Mitt Ronmey has currently only won 984223 votes throughout these primaries.(2) The message I have for you Mr. Romney is its a long way till Tuesday November 6 2012, and because the media has announced you the projected winner of Florida it doesnt mean that you have won the General election.

What right does the media have to make these assumptions? Do they consider the consequences? All week, they had been saying "Romney is surging, Romney is surging," and so Romney surged. Is that a self-fulfilling prophecy?
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you wrote about this issue! The media does a great job at telling people what to believe, not matter how inaccurate or unintelligent it may be. While working at the [not allowed to insert name here] Hotel (a kid-friendly resort) I overheard a group of parents viciously...quite viciously...arguing with one another about Romney's “presidential” victory. I could not help but chuckle when I heard one of the adults call Mr. Romney, "President Romney." Well, I was very much UNAWARE that we had a new president already! It is quite sad that the media has, in a way, "dumbed down" the American general public. How can we expect average citizens to be informed when the media is not fulfilling its role properly? I am really becoming disappointed in the media's "jump the gun" approach. I have become so disgusted with media that I have run away from it all. Given the low quality of the popular media, I have requested an invitation to Pinterest instead of following Fox, CNN, or MSNBC.
