The "media" critiquing itself?? Give me a break.
Edited on Wed May-28-08 09:31 PM by wanpete
All the talking heads tonight talking about the wonderful job they did questioning the White House but how the White House pushed back. Gag me with a spoon. This is so self-serving and butt-covering. Wow, it's hard to imagine that after all of our complaints, calls, emails, etc, it took Scotty McClellan to make them have this half-hearted conversation about how they were compliant and enablers in this administration's lies and war.

1. Ive seen a couple of them blame their corporate heads
Jessica Yellin just did that on CNN. She said her corporate heads were making it clear by editing her stories and calling for her to put out more positive pieces for the administration, that they were in the tank for the Bushies and the war. She worked for MSNBC in the run up to the war and it is no surprise that GE did that, especially because they forced out Donahue for that reason.

2. All of a sudden, everyone is tap dancing
the hour is getting late friends and your party is ending. The fat lady is singing. And guess what friends, your names were more than taken, they were recorded, detailed and scrutinized by the blogosphere.

3. It's the old ashes and sackcloth routine
They'll get back into parrot mode after all the hubbub has died down
