Glenn Greenwald on Democracy Now! on Tuesday:<br>
<br>
"...if you ... just turned on television news and watched, you would
think that <br>
Christine O’Donnell was by far the most powerful person in the
world, because, <br>
especially on stations devoted to maintaining Democratic power, like
MSNBC and <br>
other cable shows, it’s twenty-four hours nonstop about Christine
O’Donnell, <br>
because that way ... you don’t have to talk about ... what we’re
doing in <br>
Afghanistan and Pakistan, the continuation of Bush-Cheney terrorism
policies. <br>
You get to talk about Christine O’Donnell and comments she made
fifteen years <br>
ago on some late night television show as a way of mocking her and
deriding her <br>
and distracting people’s attention from what a failure this
administration has <br>
been. That’s why she serves such an important role.<i> It’s a way of
manipulating <br>
and distracting the voting base" </i>[emphasis added].<br>
