Local politics should be local. A mayor's race is interesting to the locals, but past a certain mileage, it doesn't really matter.
I, for one, am damned tired hearing of the Los Angeles mayors race. If those people don't have enough sense to elect a compete mayor, that is on them. It doesn't affect me one whit.
Fox News needs to realize that they are a national news organization and quit covering local news outside of that local news market.
I'm tired of the Dems sending me. emails for money for those races. I'm in Texas FFS... sigh
ReplyDeleteThese days most funding for these high profile races comes from out of the area, unfortunately.
DeleteThe last numbers I saw said over 90% of the national media is based in either LA or NYC. They are really bad at confirmation bias - they believe that what is around them is the most important, and that is must be as important to everybody else as it is to them.
This is why California and New York issues tend to dominate the nation. Fox should know better, but they've been getting worse since the Murdoch kids took over.
I don't watch anything for news and am picky what I read.

I think they consider it national news just because it's so shocking that a self-declared Republican could even be in the running in LA.
ReplyDeleteWith that said, I agree with you completely: A people always gets the government it deserves. LA deserves Karen Bass. Pratt needs to move to free America...just as I'm in the process of moving out of the People's Republik of Virginia just as soon as I can get it done.
Old NFO, Let me rewrite your comment "I'm tired of the Dems!"
ReplyDeleteThere fixed it for you! ;-)
