Tom Toles: Why do we even listen to the press about anything?


That just about sums it up.

2. Perfect encapsulation in nine panels
And eerily reminiscent of so many posts around even here lately.

3. Some of us stopped listening a long time ago
but I guess if all of us had, Tom would be out of a job.

I wouldn't like that. He gets it right too much of the time. Like now.

4. I am no fan of Sen. Clinton, but this is spot-on about MSM bullshit
Our MSM is a sad, patetic joke.

6. Agreed 100%
I still have to be critical on her for showing up on Entertainment Tonight last night though. Talking about important issues...like never having time to do her hair and what reality shows her mother is watching...

It's one thing when the media takes a human moment and runs with it like a bunch of bastards and another thing when the candidate subjects themselves to ignoring the issues and concentrating on fluff BS themselves.
