It must be nice to have a functioning media in a state. Look what happened in Illinois:
In the race for President Obama’s old Senate seat, Republican candidate Mark Kirk has spent the past couple weeks hammering Democrat Alexi Giannoulias over the failure of his family’s Broadway Bank. On Monday, Ed Marshall of the local CBS affiliate told Kirk it was time to talk about something else.
“Channel 2’s made a decision: We’re really not going to cover the Senate race if it consistently, only in your terms, is about Broadway Bank,” Marshall said. “The bank’s been taken over by the government, Alexi’s been pilloried. Tell me: what is your campaign going forward? What are the issues that you are going to tell the voters why they should vote for you?”
So, the media in Illinois is actually covering the Senate race? Well, I’ll be damned. How many people in Delaware actually remember there’s a Senate race here this year?
