From Greg Mitchell's Blog Pressing Issues: The woman who asked the flag lapel pin question: "The woman who asked the flag lapel pin question In debate last night. Will Bunch at Attytood has full story. *She wasn’t chosen at random but found after she raised the issue in a NYT article, which means that ABC was eager to find a “typical voter” to make it look like they weren’t the ones raising the flag issue. *Her incredibly sad story of not being able to find work or get health insurance is the whole “bitter”/wedge issue brought to life. *The NYT story she was plucked from was about RACE – and the strange reasons that white Pa. voters are citing to not vote for Obama. Her “flag pin” issue was the lead-in to the story. So, ABC’s contribution to the difficult conversation about race and wedge issues was to validate the use of wedge issues. Is this a great country or what? http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/attytood/Nash_McCabe_The_rest_of_the_story.html"

Brush it off. Main Stream Media needs to work on its personality disorder. We want a free press. What were getting is a "fee" press. If Tom Paine were with us today, he'd be a blogger.
