Miami Herald: Bellwether? By Geniusofdespair

Daily, in the Miami Herald, there are articles about wacko Rubio. Not a peep about Meek. First, what is this reporting doing? Second, does the volume of ink overshadow the content?

My mother-in-law, at 102, has the cognitive ability of many Herald readers. She is not what she once was but still a sharp tack. She can comprehend but not exactly make reasoned analysis anymore. As I said, she is like many Herald readers. She gets all her news from the Miami Herald. And, like many Herald readers, the content of an article like today's article, is somewhat glossed over by her. All she sees is another article about Rubio. She thinks, he is getting popular.

Sunday she said, "Crist is in trouble." Now where exactly did she get that idea? It wasn't from me as all we seem to talk about are her health issues.

The article today is negative but the title is strong. I agree the Herald is tilting the news with volume.

Are they reporting news? If so the Democrats running for Senate must not be newsworthy.

It seems the entire state is ignoring Ferre. He may be the best alternative.
