Media stenographers
Bob Cesca's recent blog entry hits a political nail right on the corrupt head, check it out.
I like to refer to the media as stenographers because they so rarely do anything other than write down what they are told. This seems to be particularly true over the last 8 years of the Bush administration, but it's a trend that has been ongoing for much longer than that. I'm also fond of saying that if Nixon were in the white house in the current media climate, he would never have been impeached. Conversely, if you look at the articles of impeachment for Nixon it is hard to define why Bush hasn't been impeached.
Gov'ment, whaddyagonnado?
