What Now

So Obama has won the nomination for the Democratic Party, now what. I have been watching the coverage on the CNN and MSNBC and the pundits are having a field day or a feeding frenzy. They are wildly speculating and ruminating on just about everything. It doesn't matter that Obama has not even had time to think about what's next or that most of them have never even meet Hilliary Clinton. They all either know what they are think or they know just what they need to do next. Is it just me or is the media the real driving force in politics in America.
It was 4 years ago that the media declared that Hilliary was the Democratic front runner, even though she had yet to say she was running. Then when Obama appeared on the scene they immediately started speculating on whether or not he would run, again even though he had said he was not running because he had no real experience. No matter where Obama went they were there asking if he had decided to run. Remember Rudy Giuliani, that's right the media made him the front runner at least 18 months before the first voting even happened.
When did the media stop reporting the news and start making or shaping the news. I believe that there needs to be more reporters and less pundits and analysts. There should be more "News Hour's" and fewer "Hardball's". More debates and fewer interviews. Lets have an election and not a media event.
