I think the Rather Lather has bitch-slapped the entire "media"
Suddenly "journalists" realize they are viewed as dishonest scum, lower than lawyers who sell used cars. People don't like them and distrust them, and they know EXACTLY why...because they've been reporting lies every night. They know they have, they thought we wouldn't care or catch on or demand accountability. All day, the left has been sitting up straight and telling the talking heads to shove it, the story isn't about Kerry. Tucker Carlson was so utterly humiliated by Richard Holbrooke today he nearly cried. Jennings pointing out Bush's lie on his nightly newscast...things ARE happening.

They know the only way to pull themselves out of the swamp of scumminess is to start reporting what we the people already know. Because these networks are run by old men who don't know what the hell a "blog" is, or what happens on DU.

This could be a revolution in the making. Or am I dreaming?

1. Lou Dobbs was incredulous that Bush would actually question a CIA report
after he was so confident in their credibility before he invaded Iraq. Flip-flopper Dumbya

The chance to scream and join the yipping pack requires absolutely zero journalistic ability or integrity-right up their alley. Typical 2nd grader philosophy; I can look good by making you look bad.
