Yes they did. Especially, MacBeth. It was clear from his photo alone, that he was a poser. SlimJimmy Jun 2013 #9

People who said things DU wanted to hear, and got canonized here a bit too quickly.

That's pretty common when the media does such a terrible job at reporting facts and being journalists.

Perfect example of how bad American journalism is today is someone like Mika Brzezinski - she desperately wants to be pretty, but criticizes Obama (in serious face) when he makes a mildly sexist joke. Maybe if she got out there and, for example, did an investigative segment about rape in the military I could take her seriously.
