7. Denial Denial Denial
This is like the friend or relative who has a drug or alcohol problem...they will deny they have a problem and try either to ignore it or those who say there's a problem. It isn't until they hit bottom that there's a reluctant moment of truth...and some never even reach that point.

The corporate media has long gone unchallenged in many ways...ownership and content and still live in the beltway bubble. What you or I have to say means nothing cause we're not at the drinkie-drinkie parties, we can't give "access" or play "source"...we're just rabble. How dare us to question their "journalistic integrity"...or Snotty for that matter. He played them then and many feel he's doing the same now...a reason, IMHO, he is getting such a rough ride.

For many of these corportists, they have been doing their job. You and I don't sign their paycheck...Joseph Alburton, Rupert Murdoch and other industrialists do. The question that needs to be asked is who our corporate media really serves...that's where the accountability begins.

Also, remember that the corporate media is loaded with lots of egos...its easier to dismiss those who aren't one of them or ignore those inside their club who aren't on the hustle to build resumes, careers and bank accounts.

Cheers...
