Frankly, it’s astounding. Five days before an election one of the giants of the news media admits we don’t know much about Obama and his worldview.
How can this be?
This is Brokaw’s job! This is the news media’s job!! They are supposed to look into this sort of thing, report it to us and let us decide. Why didn’t they try to find out?
They have failed miserably.
Not only have they failed miserably to perform their basic function in American society, but they have actively worked to ensure Obama’s election.
When you go to vote, consider that what we don’t know can often be more important than what we do know.

Some time ago, I commented that the media's carrying an undue and unhealthy influence on this election. I also said that I'd been told by a very senior media commentator that "the media will decide who the next President will be".
Apparently, I was not wrong.
