Fox and their legions of goons have no fear of repercussions since the mainstream media by and large gives them a pass.
They, The Media, are part and parcel of the same corrupt corporate enterprise where the dollar is almighty and the truth is bought and sold.
The right controls the media as the republicans control congress,
if they can't buy them off they use intimidation and fear with masterly precision that stops serious debate in its tracks.
Need there be any more doubt after the MOve oN censure...
Stephen Colbert must write for the President.
I see the Washington Post made sure Howard Kurtz didn't have to answer any questions on the Kline/NR fabrications.
I'll be awaiting Glens update V for his take on why no one asked Kurtz any pertinet questions on the Klien/NR articles.
Duke_S had made a great image of Dodd that is available to use on your Blogs.

Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the NYtimes they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the NYtimes they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the NYtimes they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the NYtimes they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the NYtimes they are a-changin'.
This must really give gas to the Beltways craw!
Glen you must give credit were do. I was the video clip of King interviewing McCain and he looked very serious indeed.
My comment should have read," I saw the interview", not "I was the interview".
Thursday morning he gets humiliated by Joe Scarborough for daring to interrupt and question the great Scarboroughs support of McCains Hundred Year War policy by implying to Scarborough that maybe the War is producing more wannabe terrorists rather than eliminating them.
Scarborough went ballistic and reminded Shuster that he is on Joes show and to never interrupt or question the great conservative ideologue again (to paraphrase).
Later Shuster used a poor choice of words, "pimping", while describing Chelsea Clintons working on behave of Hillary.
Shuster gets suspended.
I'm not ready to demonize one of the few newsman who actually fulfills that role because of a poor choice of words used in the spur of the moment.

Judge him by his body of work not on his one misspeak.
Bravo Glen.

They have launched a national ad campaign criticizing Democrats for not passing the Senate's surveillance bill.
These are the kingpins undermining our Constitution and our very existence as a free Republic.
I just copied and pasted the list from their website. The threat from their little group is just as viable without her.
For those of you who have never heard of this group PNAC (Project for the New American Century) are the ones who authored and underwrote the Iraq Invasion prior to 911 ( a whose who of the Bush Administration) and who are now using the acronym FDD (Foundation for Defense of Democracies) to protect Bush and the Telecom industry by running misleading ads found here >
