Bad stenographers

Referring to the role played by our establishment press as stenography is truly an insult to the work of professional stenographers.

    Professional stenographers...

    as Glenn notes, take "getting it right" very seriously, as does the legal sytem that employs them. I have been deposed on multiple occasions, and in every case the stenographer offers me the option of reviewing the written transcript before it is presented in hearing or court. If I say something stupid or self-contradictory in my deposition, I can't later claim I was mis-quoted (hint to Mitt Romney!).

    On a seperate note, to call Shooter a troll is to insult the entire class of hardworking, right-wing-ass-kissing trolls...
