How can they do that?

Just like every person who is all the time on the net and who is following politics, I'm also following the political campaign in America. What i love the most is that you can see where the candidates are standing on various issues. Thats really great and I'm sorry to say that no everywhere that is the case (for example my country Macedonia). On the other side, i really can't understand why the mainstream media is acting like that . For example I saw on CNN (a channel that i have great respect) how they are reposting what types of dogs the candidates have. I really don't think that has something to do how they will rule the world. I don't know, maybe It's just me... Other thing that i found very stupid is the reporting about who has more radical pastor, sniper fire in Bosnia, flag burning, flag-pin on the lapel, gay marriage... that's stupid. I really can't understand why the media are making the people more stupid than they already are. And It's not only in the USA. When a politician from my country speaks about big and important issues, they do that like they are talking to 5 year old kid. But when you ask him something serious, you find out that they don't have a opinion about the program that they are promoting. For me the champions in the mainstream media are FOX Network. I have huge inspiration to write about them, but I'll do a new post for them... they are the best
