22. I believe that's endemic to the institution, from my observations, the last thing the

corporate media want are for American Elections to be decided on the issues instead of the personalties or horse race aspects.

That's because the corporate media has far more power regarding their own influence when personalities or horse race aspects are involved over issues.

They can camouflage a candidate's shortcomings, and demonize, a superior candidate with ease by using their one way top down corporate owned and subsidized megaphones, however issues are more complex, although that doesn't stop the corporate media from trying to obfuscate or ignore those as well.
