Elections in the Age of the Internet

I haven't watched TV for most of the past 25 years. The internet definitely good enough for me, and, IMHO, is the perfect medium for election coverage.

I agree! PBS isn't quite as bad, but is still too "talking head" for my taste. I remember going to a local hotel ball-room and watching the results being read from a ticker tape and then written buy hand on a large chalk board. (I'm giving away my age here). But I rather miss that.

Seems to me that the internet, while a wunnerful tool, also continues the alienation of the population one from another. There was a marvelous sense of community then that seems to have largely been lost.
