Bought and paid for
How does Tucker stay on the air? He's must have something on somebody at MSNBC. And you're absolutely correct, if the US really had an independent press, the craziness of the Iraq War would never have occurred. Our press looks to owned lock, stock and barrel by wealthy, influential power brokers who want things reported their way. Our press has become "embedded" in the power system; bought and paid for. Isn't that the definition of prostitution?

Bolton's abject hypocrisy
It burns me to no end to listen to chickenhawks like Bolton talk about how tough they are, and how "intimidated" others who opposed their insanity are. He's never, ever, ever put his life at risk to back up his tough talk, or been able to make a logical case to support his accusations that others are "faint of heart".
He avoided service in Vietnam, even though he was strongly prowar:
"I confess I had no desire to die in a Southeast Asian rice paddy. I considered the war in Vietnam already lost."
I'm so sick of our media letting these warmongering cowards get away with that. The list of Bush administration people who have actually ever seen the battlefield is probably short enough to fit on a post-it, as would be the list of those wingnut talk show hosts and bloggers.
And who was really "intimidated"? In reality, the Boltons, Bushs, Cheneys, Goldbergs, Limbaughs, et al were the people who were intimidated and scared witless by a two-bit, petty, defeated, isolated, little dictator who we already bombed into the stone age. They saw him as a threat, where people who weren't frightened out of their wits would not.
The real cowards are those who scream the loudest about their own bravery, while urging others to go in their place and die to protect them from their irrational fears. They top that hypocrisy by accusing those who oppose them of being cowards.
I can't think of too many things lower or more despicable than someone who screams for war but avoids it at all costs, wants others to die in their place, and then bashes those who oppose those wars.

Let's hear it for Jeff Greewald, the only Salon Reporter with hair on his ass.

Either Fall In Line With The Bush/Cheney gang or else Coventry.
Most of the Washington press corps which has the responsibility to inform us of what is happening in our nation's capital are so intimidated by this administration as to be justifiably rated as being worthless. What more can anyone say about this when we see Helen Thomas with her arm raised as if frozen and is never given a chance to question them or theior policies. By cooperating a reporter gets access and can ride on the president's plane. They also do not live in fear of unemployment or face the dismal prospects of not being able to send their kids to college. But they are not the only ones living in fear as I recently saw MSNBC's Contessa Brewer suddenly finding a document to explain "McCain's 100 year war" comment. The full text was McCain was analogizing with U.S. policy which has kept our troops in Europe and Asia for over five decades. But Chris Matthews recently destroyed a GOP warrior congressman who attempted to use this arugument. Matthews reminded him that our troops have not been attacked since our World War 2 enemies surrendered. Nobody in sound mind would dare believe our occupational troops will only suffer being pelted with roses in this "cakewalk, slam dunk war." stevve USN WW2

Greenwald Biased
I would disagree with Greenwald's assessment of the media in light of the New York Times policy of publishing any and all matters of military intellegence that can harm the United States. I would agree with him, however, that the Democrat media (95% of the are Dems or worse & most belong to unions that are pro-Dem) has never asked any of the real tough questions about the most brutal, henious violation of civil, human and Consitutional rights in this nation's history, that being the Waco Massacre. Carried out by the Democrat Clinton administration in 1993, innocent men, women and children were tortured for weeks before being gased and burned alive. In fact, the LSM - left stream media - NEVER even talks about Waco and WILL NEVER ask Hillary Clinton what her role was in this Constitutional shredding. As April 19th approaches, look for stories & memorials for/about Oklahoma City bombing but no mention of Waco Church Burning. To protect the secrets of the powerful, Mr. Greenwald? Yes, the Democrat powerful.
Democrats did this, for the children:

Fellow Blognerds...
Are you all loving (as am I) living in a Country that officially refuses to disavow torture?
The Asshole-in-Chief has declared that he, personally, feels torture works. So there we have it!
Why does the GOP hate America?
