Maybe because its ratings suck or maybe because it is serious about politics, but regardless of why, CBS news has decided that it will cover the issues pertaining to the Presidential Election. According to Marc Ambinder, CBS news will run 35 separate segments, each 6 - 8 minutes in length, discussing one issue on its evening news program starting after the convention.
MSNBC has done this, somewhat, on "Super Tuesday," which happens to be every Tuesday. Each Tuesday, MSNBC picks a theme such as "economy," "Culture Wars," etc. Unfortunately, when they do this, the just have the same familiar people and the same familiar (shallow) arguments. Maybe this will be better. Maybe. Maybe Not.

Hmmmmm. Harrogate wonders if one of the segments will be about Nader.
How about a segment called "Economy" that doesn't center totally on candidates' professed worship of the Middle Class?
Or, Heavens to Betsy, would CBS summon the balls to acknowledge Media Cosolidation as an issue?
Sadly, as far as "Dreams of Harrogate" goes, he experiences nary a pulse of hope with respect to CBS' prospects.
