Okay. . .when the hell did the MSM develop testicles?
It took them almost six years of Chimpy McFlightsuit-Bunny Pants to develop the nuts to attack this "adminstration?" Wow, it's like sharks at a feeding frenzy, save Fox who sucks the administration's dick like good whores, and MSGOP is not too far behind.

What is going on? Are they finally waking up? How long before their corporate masters step in and stiffle this backbone and cut off the nutsack they are growing?

1. Nobody knows. It's eerie.
Did the testicles magically descend, or are they just awkwardly fastened with Velcro?

3. We've always had em
It's just we have not been fighting for YOUR cause.
Here's the problem, media spends too much time listening to belly-aching from both sides that they're being biased. so they spend alot of time being scared of reporting the truth.
But, when something like this happens, it's too easy to feast on.
Most journalists are lefties, no matter what stupid blogs say.

5. it seems to have started with the correspondants on the scene . . .
their reports were so universally horrifying that their employers had to take notice . . . and the only way they could have shut them up would have been to fire them, which would not have been good PR . . .

6. The committee that really rules the world said they could.
So sad, however, true. :shrug:

Having said that, I must add... Robin Hood lives. The indomitable spirit of the people lives on and, eventually we will prevail. And that has been, over time, a true thing.

8. We'll see how long it takes for the sight and smell of rotting corpses in
a famed American city to fade into memory in the newsrooms of America. And if it has indeed made a lasting impact there.

Considering the WaPo and I think Newsweek too recently got burned (once again) into taking stenography from the WH when they reported that Blanco didn't declare a state of emergency (easily refuted by a glance at previous news reporting and the LA Gov press releases), I tend to be a bit cynical as to how long some folks in the corporate media will actually do the work to report the truth and facts rather than the spin. I would love to be shown to be wrong, however. But that remains to be seen.

Let's also see if Fitzgerald comes out with something in the next few weeks. An indictment or two might help.

10. Amazing
David Gregory from NBC has been amazing dealing with Scotty. BTW, Malloy playing the song "Scotty doesn't know" from the movie Eurotrip...genius.

11. As Brian Williams said
it was the difference between what the officials were saying and what was actually happening on the ground, they had to report it.
