Amen. May all the major network news programs
choke on my own vomit.

Hey!
This is like a Glenn Greenwald column condensed into a cartoon. Great stuff!

That'll Be the Day
Sorry, won't happen. That would require far too much work for anyone on either side of the screen. And as a kiss of death, it wouldn't help sponsors sell a single extra car, french fry, or cell phone.
Now shut up and pass me the dip ...

So, Tom Tomorrow, who are you?
You save your contempt except for a pundit who has been ranting and raving like a lunatic for the last several years, whose ego is overweening and contempt for everyone is thick as a brick: Tom Tomorrow. But then, why do that? Tom Tomorrow's perfect. He should be President. Hell, he should be Boss of the World, he's so perfect.
Modesty, thy name is...not within a continent of Tom Tomorrow.

It's a crime that once again, we let the media pick our candidates....
I think the polls showed that most Democratic voters preferred Edwards' views. What a tragedy for the country that every media outlet including NPR and PBS are filled with stupid and lazy reporters that are in love with themselves and in love with the horse race aspects.
When did NPR last provide quality coverage of the election? My guess it was mid 80s and when their top reporters were hungry and not yet the standard guests for so many of the network shows.

"This is like a Glenn Greenwald column condensed into a cartoon."
Yeah Jeanette, it's like that, only if Glenn Greenwald wasn't such a long-winded narcissist who also squats to pee.

Another good effort by Dan Perkins
I just wish there were some way I could stuff this cartoon up Wolf Blitzer's ass with a broomstick.

can't laugh, can't cry
I used to take some comfort from finding that I wasn't the only one thinking that there'd been a literal coup, and that there was a corporate junta in control of our country. But with the way this election's playing out -- with the media and "our" own politicians colluding in the takeover (or rather, the leveraged buyout, with our children's children's incomes as the lever) of our economy, our military, our freedoms, and our futures, there's no comfort to be found in any validation that it's all too real.
I had a friend in the 80s who defended his voting for Ray-gun on the grounds that it would hasten the revolution. Maybe we really do need literal blood in the streets before Americans wake up to what's being done to us.

surprised at the venom directed at this cartoon
I thought it was brilliant and succinct.
The United States has become such a surreal environment under the current regime, the only thing left for Bush to do is start a war with Iran and declare martial law so he can suspend elections and rule until the end of the war on terra...

dead on
As an Edwards supporter, I've been outraged by the media "coverage" of the primaries. The only candidate with real substance is bring ignored while they force-feed us the "which historic first will it be? Woman or black?!" line of bullshit. What they should really be asking us is "Corporatist sell-out or empty suit? You decide! Oh, I guess there's a guy somewhere back there talking about the real issues, but he's a boring white male with gay poofy haircuts. Just ignore him."
But then, this is what happens when an anti-corporatist, anti-rich bastards candidate is "covered" by news media owned by corporations headed by rich bastards.
Why the fuck aren't news organizations required to be non-profit?

Only the cloistered community of Salon and its ilk
Are happily obsessed with 60/60/24/7/365 election coverage.

It's quite painful because it is so very dead on . . .
but I have to go now . . . there's a piece on Brittany's obit coming up after the hour . . .
-
alas, not funny
Hits too close to the truth. Poor old Liberty.
-
"cloistered ilk"?
Hey Nulla, didst thou partake of too much Mad Dog 20-20 and fall into a thesaurus?
I, and my cloistered ilk, must now preprare for the day's labors......but, if may I say, there's nothing like the smell of trolls in the morning.

@Garry Owen
Sounds like you've got a personal problem with Mr. Greenwald, and I'll kindly thank you to keep me out of it.
-
OMG
This was by far one of the funniest Tom Tomorrow comic strips I have read. Thanks for the good work.
-
How is Salon any better?
Salon rambles on about Hillary Clinton and champions her in every column and at this point I know more about fuckin Mike Huckabee than any other candidate from any party. John Edwards has been completely shut out of your coverage as well and the crap I read about the Obama/Clinton smackdowns is fucking useless.
Salon is just as guilty but your a little bit worse for complaining about other outlets doing it.
-
kickstarts
So far as I am aware Tom Tomorrow does not reflect the views of Salon - Salon just pays him for the right to run his cartoon, what actually goes into it is up to him, within reason.
-
Taliesan
I enjoy the "This Modern World" cartoons but it's ironic Salon runs him when they are as guilty as everyone else. The worst part is they should know better and do better.
Follow the advice in the cartoon Salon.
-
sorry, but serious discussion of the issues
has been classified as "Super Tip-Top Secret".
Any one who discusses the issues is obviously trying to destroy the morale of our troops and thus give aid and comfort to the enemy.

POW! RIGHT IN THE LABONZA!
MISS LIBERTY should have SMACKED these TWO DUNG-dits(pundits full of DUNG) on the head with her "Torch of Freedom" and KICKED the _HIT out of these two BOMBASTIC IMBECILES, instead of PITIFULLY WITHERING AWAY the way she did! POW! RIGHT IN THE LABONZA, baby!!!!! Does ONE of the DUNG-dits resemble Fred Barnes? WELL DONE, Tom Tomorrow, your wit is SPARKLING as usual, TOO BAD Miss Liberty's Torch wasn't sparkling here as well!
-
Matt Tiabii did a similiar article in Rolling Stone...
and sadly, the media didn't learn anything from it, either.
-
ok, the current situation..
is not necessarily going well for the people of america. tough!
it's yer own damn fault.
get behind mike gravel's 'initiative for democracy', and when you establish citizen oversight of the federal government, start making that government accountable.
oh! too hard? then go back to wringing your hands and crying out: "somebody odda do something!"

If it was a GG column
there would 500 posts by now, most of them in the form of verbal circle jerks.

Make That 500, Plus the Usual Rats Like You
If it was a GG column, there would 500 posts by now, most of them in the form of verbal circle jerks.
Wrong; there would certainly be a few more, if you include the turd-sniffing rodents like you, who stick their greasy snouts into the circle in order to lick up the excess.
