Frank Rich hits the nail on the head with this one. Focus more on the meat of the article which was resoundingly about the media's increasingly out-of-touch stance on the campaign at hand. They jump all over these political gaffes and make grand assumptions about their implications, and what they don't understand is that people don't give a s**t anymore. All of this was brought to a head when ABC refused to ask any pertinent questions regarding serious issues, illustrating the media's continued ignorance of what people are interested in hearing about.
