Just how bad has the media’s coverage of the presidential campaign been? Bad enough that ABC News’s Silicon Insider Michael Malone says he’s “embarrassed to admit what I do for a living”.

Krauthammer & Thompson
Charles Krauthammer like me isn’t the happiest of conservatives in this race but like me he understands what’s at stake.
