THE CONSISTENTLY IRRITATING MEDIA ANNOYANCES Glenn, Is the media capable of anything other than useless polls, gotchas, and claims of inconsistency? They've rolled out this tired shibboleth against every candidate on the planet now. Rarely is the question asked: Is the media a idiot? Obviously, "a foolish consistency is the the hobgoblin of small minds." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson So idiot media, or what? The answer appears to be a resounding, and resounding and resounding and rerecording and regurgitating YES! They are knaves, slaves, scribblers, dribblers and drab. And that's the ones who aren't awful. ******** That said, I do recall Clark on CNN in the run up to war. He was no shrinking violet when it came to putting men under arms and getting it on. I never sensed any hesitation on his part w/r/t the fact that the war is a completely illegal and immoral adventure whose three purposes are to fulfill the U.S.'s obligation to take casualties for Ariel Sharon, establish Iraq as a prostrated oil filling station and set the stage for the most vile empire the planet has ever known. Nope, that didn't get analyzed by old man Kanne's son. Fancy that.
