Burn Down the Whole Damned Town and Start With the Media
By John Cole
This shit drives me absolutely insane:
During a stop at a pizza joint in New York on Wednesday, John Kasich drew the mock ire of locals and reporters on Twitter as he used a fork.
On Thursday, Kasich explained himself.
“Look, look, the pizza came scalding hot, OK? And so I use a little fork,” the governor of Ohio told ABC’s “Good Morning America.” “You know what? My wife who is on spring break with my daughters said, 'I’m proud of you. You finally learned how to use a utensil properly.' But I mean — not only did I eat the pizza, I had the hot sausage. It was fantastic.”
Kasich, apparently recognizing his error, finished up using his hands, although he did not fold over the slice, as is customary.
I personally don’t give a god damned how Kasich eats his fucking pizza. I don’t care if he even eats pizza. What I do care about is the fact that this election cycle the media has given almost as much attention (and in some outfits, far more) to Kasich’s pizza choices than they have his horrifying record in Ohio with unions, gay people, and abortion, as well as what he did to teachers.
The Media is complicit / just reflecting their audience's desires / yadda yadda bullshit. Stop consuming it.
