Why Does The Media Seem Quiet (relatively Speaking) On The Minnesota Recount? |
|
There's something on Rachel tonight, but it seems the media (& whoever else) is rather quiet on this. Why????????

1. Because lawsuits are boring stories... |
|
...and the existence of an ongoing lawsuit suggests there are two "balanced" sides of the thing and that whatever the parties say, a judge will eventually decide it.

2. Because there's been no news since both sides rested their cases |
|
just over two weeks ago.
I'm just wondering what's taking so long for a decision.

5. and the court hasn't issued a ruling yet. There really isn't |
|
much point running a news story that says "Nothing has transpired since our last story. Stay tuned."

The media wouldn't be quiet had the Repukes had won the race by over 200 votes after a recount and they would be 1 vote away from 60 votes in the Senate. There wouldn't be any stories or smarmy "sore loser" comments.

9. because we're playing the waiting game |

til the ruling comes down
then, if Coleman tries to drag this further, it will get interesting.
