sorry GG, but I find the Joan Walsh "media-is-bad"
oozing now-not only from her on TV now-but you too.
You are just as guilty of what you accuse the msm of. Just in a Pro-HRC way--by leaving out facts that could support the biases and reasons the msm/ media do actually dislike her-and feel used by her. (like showing up with muffins, bagels-after not answering reporters qestions for so long-or even campaigning there.
Or-as Keith O. pointed out; that after the tearing up-HRC went straight into more criticism of Obama.
For example yesterday, I found her speech on MLK and LBJ. One that essentially said, african-Americans NEEDED a white guy like LBJ to fight thier battles for them becasue he had "experience" like her. And that, after all, MLK WAS shot.
Not very smart strategy going into a very African-American SC.
But I guess it's hard for GG, to actually find ALL of these speeches and comments online and figure for yourself what the context of it is. It's just easier to watch TV or read what someone elses' interpretation is of the speech and call them "mean" if they don't agree with ya.
WOW.
For a lawyer, I'd of thought after looking at legal briefs, catching inconsistencies in witness statements, catching inconsistencies in FISA stuff...---simply using those fingers to look up (in it's entirety)what a candidate says and does/ or schedule--would be a cakewalk.
There are campaign websites, Media Matters,opensecrets.org...
That's kinda like work though huh?
At least with your op-ed tsk-tsking of the msm/media (Matthews)
YOUR ego-inflated OPINION becomes the main cruxt of the story-minus the complexity of anything resembling "entire picture" or "truth, (ie less-work).
Don't know if you are still working off a New Years' binge-but the past 4 days don't demonstrate anywhere near the excellent work I've come to expect from you on FISA, illegal Bush activity, nor the changing of posts at least 2x a day...
Perhaps you should stick with what you know best,after all, Andrew Sullivan actually has a degree in philosophy. Maureen Dowd-don't read her.
But I know how to "vet" a story on my own-but I trust someone with a bigger picture, no-agenda, "philosophical"-approach to reading and deciding over one who has one.
