Over the years, I've learned that people (e.g., the press) who make bad decisions will go far out of their ways to be tolerant of the consequences -- anything at all, to keep from admitting they made a bad decision. If you learned that over the years, why can't you see yourself in that same kind of equation......a bad decision and its consequences?

"Watch and see. He won't be charged with any responsibility for "his" economy." Who's economy is it right NOW, Dave? When Bush took over, how long was it "Clinton's" economy? Four years? Longer?

Inode, > The media is not going to suddenly say, "Oh, we made a mistake, now we're not liberals anymore". They're going to pass the buck. The mainstream media is already declining. We live in an Information Age, where Google becomes a more reliable source of news than CNN.com. To stay alive, the mainstream media (i.e. traditional media, including CNN) will need to improve the quality of their coverage, not degrade it to the level of DailyKos. If they do what you say they're going to do, they're going to be finished, period. Tenchusatsu
