Glenn--This selective stenography is the outcome of the concerted and well-funded right-wing attack on the media that you document so well in your first book "How Would a Patriot Act."
The positions and actions of the extreme right cannot withstand scrutiny, and thus it needs a media establishment kowtowed into avoiding carrying out its primary responsibilities when reporting.
The stenography that has developed, as you have documented on this blog since that book, has played a key role in enabling the outrageous government abuses that inevitably further the interests of the Establishment.
It's been "mission accomplished" for a number of years now in regards to the Iraq War, the torture regime, and other topics that--like the name of Voldemort--cannot be mentioned here.
You are one of the handful who are pushing back, and that's why it was great to hear about the success of your fundraiser.
