Agree with all the comments on this thread and others.
I would only add this.
It just shows that the main stream pressitutes are not writing/printing "What the people want to hear". It shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are motivated by "what they want to write". The average man in the street could give a rat's hind end for someone who just took over for Petah Jennings and whom very few people would know the name or the face.
Of course 10 news cycles later, everyone has heard the name, but that is after it has been drummed/beaten into them. But the original decsision to make this banner headline stuff can *only* derive from their narcissistic desire to make themselves the story.
Which is which we have been saying all along.
It really is a funhouse of mirrors when you try to analyze whether the press is a certain way because the people expect it or whether the people expect it because the press is a certain way and after a few news cycles the distinction becomes impossible to make.
But in this one case the distinction is simple to make - this is the press writing for the press and not because they are "giving the people what they want."
Case closed.
"It shows beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are motivated by "what they want to write"."
Agreed. See my #14.
