Reply #41: The news is about entertainment in this country, not substance [View All]

[CBHagman]

The boorish Austrian has name recognition, a scary set of choppers, a Kennedy/TV news wife; draws fans who are stuck in the movie fantasies, supporters who are plutocrats; and makes for a good front-page photo. He opens his campaign on "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno."

It has virtually nothing to do with reality, everything to do with keeping entertained and selling those magazines and newspapers. I live on the EAST COAST, for crying out loud, and my local pharmacy had some puff magazine featuring Arnold waving an American flag! I was so put off I almost complained to the store management. I still mean to find out which publisher decided to squeeze a few more bucks out of the California insanity.
