Without a doubt, race is a factor here. One sad effect is that there are many people in this country who like or dislike him based on his politics and not race. But they're going to be painted in a negative light because of the true racists.<BR/><BR/>$14M for those pics?

Are you saying that "ghettofab clowns, texting teens, Wal Mart Moms and NASCAR Dads" are demanding vapid stuff from journalists, or is the media feeding us stupidity and avoiding hard debates, this making us stupid? It's easy to say a little of both (which you imply), but I don't think that's the case. i think we're demanding "brain candy" and that's what they are providing. If important issues are ignored, or people laid off at magazines or TV news stations, that's tragic but apparently it's what America wants.<BR/><BR/>I looked up cognative dissonance online.
