This is info about Brown I didn't know.

Where I would disagree is the idea that voters should've been more judicious because of the red flags surrounding him. I disagree because it assumed that most voters were even aware. I had never read anything about him lying on his resume, employing friends (not that I take issue w/it) and especially lying about his voting record. This is the first and I consider myself rather politically connected.

This is a similar assumption shared by cable news talk show hosts or the Sunday talk shows. That is, well everyone is talking/knows about this or that when in fact, most don't.

I think most people realize that these people are human. What the media does is make them superhuman. Do americans really care that someone lied on their resume or about voting? Only if they aren't inclined to support the person in question.

Good article though!
