6. The content of the corporate media impacts the national polls -
I think the national polls reflect, to a considerable extent, what is being said in the corporate media. The media says "Hillary!" and so a majority of those who watch corporate news and/or talk are thinking H.C.

I know that before I "became political" I rather passively waited for the corporate media to tell me who the frontrunners were and then rooted for the one I liked. That is not democracy - it occurs to me now.

Now I root for Kucinich, Feingold, Conyers -- virtually everyone who gets little or poor coverage in the corporate media.

I think Gore is still met with much doubt by people who tend to vote Dem, but who are not avid online politicos.

Good morning! :hi:
