Media outrage my arse!
Circular Firing Squad

They all hate George W. Bush.
And Republicans too.
And they’re not too fond of the idea – especially in this day and age – of the pluralistic democracy in this federal Republic of ours.
On the other hand, there’s one issue about which our liberal media outlets are pure, died-in-the-wool capitalists:
Competition with other media outlets.
So, ergo, and now that NewsWeak has gotten in touch with its inner dan raTHer, and this time blood literally was shed as a result thereof, it didn’t take very long for other liberal media sources to tear into them the way a trust-fund journalism school professor might rip through a bottle of XO cognac.
CNN wasn’t subtle or nuanced:
“Newsweek backs off Quran desecration story.”
ABC News saw that and raised them one:
“Newsweek Apologizes for Quran Story Errors.”
Reuters blasted away too:
“Newsweek says Koran desecration report is wrong.”
Alas, dan raTHer, Marla Mapes, Jayson Blair, Howell Rains, Mike Barnicle, Tom Squitieri, and Stephen Glass, all withheld comment.

On a serious note, the media has gone from being an undeclared enemy to being an actual, overt, and hostile combatant in the global war against terrorism.
But will conservatives finally wake up and realize that staying home, and not voting, is a de facto vote for those very same mental patients to be in charge of this country?
And their safety and well being too???
We’ll find out soon enough.
Hopefully, they’ll put politics over principles and vote against the media/Democrat machine.
