The Media Whore Bubble
The problem is the "No Liberals On TV" rule. Few reporters face any kind of accountability on their work. Pundits pontificate but the only time they may be held accountable is when they appear on mass media talk shows either on radio or cable or network tv. But there are almost no strong liberals in any of those fora -- and the few there are, like Olbermann and Cafferty, haven't been there long.
Its bloggers like Glenn Greenwald who are changing the dynamic and, at least in some way, forcing the media to back up what they say.
Another great post, as usual, Glenn. Thank you.
