    Does this McCaffrey guy even know what a full sentence is?

    Speaks in code. Almost as if hiding something. No matter. Must trust him. Blindly.

    Glenn, you do know that most of us haven't watched the corporatist media to get our news for years and years, right?

    Do people outside the Beltway really trust any of these celebrity talking heads anyway?

    I think the vast majority of Americans have grown to assume there's a conflict of interest in all of these "news" shows. Whether NBC explicitly acknowledges the conflicts is almost irrelevant.

    I would like to see some of these jokers get tried under a War Profiteering act, if congress can get set aside their priority task of renaming federal buildings for a moment, that is.
