Cain "stops" "running" "for" "President"
You have to admit that Rupert Murdoch is a clever devil. He's figured out how to run a major network with minimum cost. No need for a Personnel Department to evaluate potential on-air personalities. No need to spend money on background checks or polls to determine likely ratings. No need to spend money on advertising to stir up buzz.
Just require on-air personalities to run for President first. The other media and the American people will then pay for the background checks, the ratings predictions, the cognitive dissonance and the buzz. Presto!
Best part of all: You have a prefabricated audience with a vested interest. The voters who poured money and effort into campaigning for On-Air Personality #257 are permanently attached to On-Air Personality #257. Basic human nature.
