Media Spotlight

I think Greenwald is right on the money in focusing a spotlight on the media's capitulation and malleability when it comes to being used by this corrupt administration. O'Reilly is really showing signs of completely coming unglued. Glenn and others like Media Matters, after all, are only holding up a mirror to their own words and actions. The bottom line is that Goldberg, O'Reilly, Limbaugh et al don't like being called out for their hate speech. Now they now that their rhetoric will no longer go unchallenged, and that's why sites like Salon, Media Matters, Raw Story are so invaluable. It's a new media world, and it's a huge advantage for the left to be able to circumvent the mainstream media in such a constructive fashion.
