Alec Baldwin for Mayor of NYC??

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/31/mayor-alec-baldwin/

The above article's headlines are of the only importance here. I see another ally people are using to further themselves and/or their career. A CNN post said that the "idea" of Alec Baldwin running for NYC Mayor was just him publicly saying he would like to be Mayor. This is a perfect example of how the media is misconstruing our words to make headlines. Baldwin said on the Lateshow that he will not be running because he'd rather be traveling with his new girlfriend. So who wins here? Well, I think both. CNN has me blogging about this, people will see the title of the article and click on it and read it. With that said, their viewing will increase from that one article today and maybe their ratings will slightly increase for August 31, 2011. Alec Baldwin is also a winner. His name is out in the media (Neither Bad nor Good news) and he got to promote himself for the TV show he'll be on this fall. I think when the media takes voiced ideas form celebs or politicians and make news of it no one gets criticized. Good one CNN.

Politicians using the media

In a CNN article, http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/25/rove-levels-palin-accusation/?hpt=po_bn, Carl Rove has come out to say Sarah Palin has thin skin because she gets upset that we, the American people speculate about her running. This brings up the topic that all, if not most, politicians are using the media to personally benefit themselves regardless what they think the public thinks. This means, for example, like Rove says, Palin should just come out and say she isnt going to run. It isnt that hard. She knows now if she is running or not. Why make people guess and follow her when there is no reason. Instead, we can focus on people who have come out and have said they are running. I do not understand why she or anyone does this. Why waste crucial air time and interview with people just to say, I dont know if Im running or not. Either run for president or move aside!

Rick "sleaze" Perry

Check out this article/report that says Rick Perry has invested in a Porn company in 1995. This is unusual because isn't he an outspoken Christian conservative?

Using the Media?

Here is an article/question about the Perry/Bush disagreement... Is it all a sceme or is it real? It seems like a sceme to me: http://www.care2.com/causes/is-the-perry-bush-feud-a-fake.html
