Barack Obama discusses Rev. Wright on The View Barack Obama discusses Rev. Wright with the ladies The View. ------------------------- ------------------- Listening to pundits dissect the West Virginia race is making me queasy. Today, a major talking point is the exit polls showing that 50% of voters in that state believe Obama shares the views of Rev. Jeremiah Wright. With astonishment and foreboding, the talking heads titter about his prospects in the fall. Not one of them owns up to exacerbating this mess by reinforcing likely prejudice. The intellectual dishonesty is staggering. Reporters did not put Obama in that church for twenty years, and yes, the subject was an appropriate campaign topic. But to loop about twenty incendiary seconds from thousands of hours of sermons while linking the politician to the preacher, then act surprised when some voters believe what has been forced down their throats, is disingenuous, to be polite. As usual, only Bill Moyers bothered to examine the issue with any depth. He has been hitting the circuit to discuss his new book, Moyers on Democracy. He rightly notes that "[b]y no stretch of the imagination can we say the dominant institutions of today's media are guardians of democracy," and as one reviewer summarizes, "Our public conversation is mediated by politicians who have mastered 'sound bites' sculpted from polling data, by "pundits" whose credibility increases with the frequency of exposure despite being consistently wrong, and 'experts' whose authority depends not on reason, evidence or logic but on ideology and affiliation."
