  • Sacred Cow

    When Katie asked Condi Rice to confirm a Bush political smear against Kerry, she broke the sacred media cow, which was to never criticize the president. Ostensilbly because we are at war (which is not a valid reason), but maybe the reality is closer to the media being afraid of Bushs smear machine (look at Dan Rather), and extraordinary extraditions (ok not likely for a journalist, but might make them think twice. Fear of the whip is what controls the masses).
