The
majority of stories being written about my “candidate” right now are about the
College Football Playoffs, which I just realized I did not properly capitalize
“College Football Playoffs” in the last blog I mentioned it in. I think it is
interesting that these stories are coming out, because it is no longer football
season. You would think sports fans would be focused on baseball. You would
think that people would be focused on Condoleezza’s thoughts on potential
presidential candidates, not on her thoughts of how many teams should
participate in the College Football Playoffs. The main types of media outlets
covering this “issue” and my “candidate” the most are sports outlets, and also
The Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times.
From what I
have read, I would say that the media is definitely the ones generating the
“news”. The majority of the articles disagree with Condoleezza’s position on the
four-team system. I do not think that the media is writing in a way that would
promote Condoleezza as a presidential candidate in 2016. The media is saying
Condoleezza is wrong and she is making poor decisions as a committee member for
the College Football Playoffs. If the media does not think she is able to make
good decisions about football, I really doubt they think she can lead a
country. Unless, the media’s position is trying to say, “This lady does not
know sports, she should go back to national security matters or she could try
running the country for a little while. Those things are obviously so much
easier than deciding the number of teams that can compete in the College
Football Playoffs”.
I honestly
think it is hilarious that so many people are fixated on how many teams
Condoleezza thinks should be in the College Football Playoffs. She is a
brilliant and inspiring woman and instead of asking about her thoughts on the
candidates that have declared, they are asking how many teams should compete in
the College Football Playoffs. I am sure Condoleezza has a lot of opinions about
Hillary Clinton, Ted Cruz, Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and the most shocking
candidate Juaquin Malphurs (Waka Flocka Flame).
Moving into the 2016 election season Condoleezza should be receiving
more media coverage of her endorsing a candidate, and the media looking into
Condoleezza’s opinion of “her” candidates opponents. I am not expecting
Condoleezza to run, because of things she has said in the past. That being
said, I would like to see her be more vocal about the candidates that are
running and those she thinks should run.
I know you all love reading the sources of these blogs so
below is a link to all of my sources. For those of you who are really concerned
about the number of the teams in the College Football Playoffs, you should
really read all of these articles.
I think that it is not surprising that there is not much coverage on Condoleezza about her potential candidacy. Have you found any articles that speculate that she may run? Also, do you believe that she might run for president eventually down the line?
ReplyDeleteI agree, it's not surprising that they aren't covering her potential candidacy because she has stated that she has not interest in running. I do think it is surprising that the media is not reaching out to see who she supports because she is a very influential person.
