On Election Night 2000 Mr. Jennings will be sitting at his anchor desk, whining and looking miserable because the Republicans will have won the Presidency. He'll hint that the election is a travesty and he'll look for ways to explain it away and prove that it doesn't reflect what America (in his mind, the media elite) really believes.
From time to time he'll shrug his shoulders in feigned acquiesence and pay lip service to democracy ("well, the people have spoken"). But he'll nonetheless try to "blame" the election results on so-called angry white male gunowners, whose opinions are, unlike his own, worthless, and who in his mind have no right to vote anyway--as if by voting they somehow stole the votes of others.
Mr. Jennings will have no concept of the fact that Mr. Bush's victory will have come from the principled and diverse individuals who make up the majority of the country. That is, it will have come from thinking, informed citizens who are in touch with the country and with reality, as distinguised from those like Mr. Jennings who live in isolation from everyone but their own kind and think the thought of the group.
IOW, a television scenario repeating the despicable behavior and poorly camouflaged bias of Mr. Jennings and his fellow info-tainment personalities during the
coverage of the Congressional elections of 1994.
Or so I believe ....
