The biggest hypocrisy of all....

...is when media outlets endorse candidates. I'll admit that this one burns me a little more because they're endorsing the candidate that I will not be voting for, but the practice has always bothered me. You can give me all kinds of reasons about how it's not the newspaper, it's an editorial written by a single writer, but come on, give me a break. It's not like the Post has gone out of their way to make that clear (especially with quotes like, "Our choice is Mr. Ehrlich"). In fact, endorsements from the Post are highly coveted by politicians in the area and then thrown in the voters' faces. I consider it irresponsible on the part of media outlets to show support for one candidate over another.

This is the kind of thing that makes me hate politics. Really, really, really hate politics.
