I talked to my mother about "the media" and coverage of the '08 campaign...

[Writer]

Here's her theory on "the collective media" and how they all conspired to put Obama in office:

She said that McCain was an exceptionally uninteresting candidate, and that the media (they all did this together, of course) clung on to Obama as being more "interesting." She said that Obama's campaign was able, using the media, to convince the white people that he is a "black man who is going to save the white race."

From what he is supposed to save them from, she didn't explain. My mother tends never to explain such things.

And of course, she sympathizes with the town hall disruptors. And the comment above is rather revealing when considering her sympathies.

My mom is in her late 60's and grew up in the Deep South.
