Is the Media Destroying Politics?

Could it be that We're Taking About the Issues, Already?

In a New York Times article today the title, "On the Stump, Gingrich Puts Focus on Faith," seems to imply that probable 2012 Presidential candidate Newt Gingrich, could already be discussing the issues which he plans on making a major part of his campaign.  As we discussed earlier and I discussed in an earlier post, usually this early in the race there is little or no focus on issues but rather the focus tends to be on who is running not what is being run on.  Sadly the article really focuses on how Gingrich's personal views seem to to not fit so well with his parties views and the words that come out of his mouth.  I guess we'll have to wait a while for the real issues stories to come out.

  1. The only way in which Gingrich's personal life is relevant is if he's a hypocrite. That could be something useful to know. But beyond that, I agree that focusing too much on that aspect isn't helpful.
