When Nixon was running against Kennedy, he acknowledged that much of his support was due to the anti-Catholic prejudices of Protestant fundamentalists, and denounced this bigotry. Nixon stated that he did not want the vote of anyone who was making their decision based on religious prejudices.

Hillary Clinton has done the opposite, showing that she has even less integrity than Nixon. Rather than denounce the attitudes of Americans who will not vote for Obama because he is black, she has given a nod and a wink to her “broader base” of “whites who had not completed college”, allowing them to vote their prejudices – prejudices amplified by the continuous spin of ratings-driven content.

“When ratings is the end-all, be-all of the corporate media, how can it be anything but a mad dash to a mass echo chamber, where ignorance is multiplied into mega ignorance, and wars become inevitable through rumor?”
