They cry foul while having highly placed imbiciles start spouting every kind of nasty back byting nonsense. If this one flatulant gas bag gets flustered by an accurate side shot from an intelectual superior, then he has no place in public office. As for the right to free speech; yes, everyone has the right to free speech, and this "poor" fellow had every right to defend himself when confronted with his short comings. I don't think that it is impossible to believe that this gang of new-cons is beyond setting (forcing) up reporters to admit to things that they may not in fact have done, to setting up news shows with falsified data so they can claim foul, and throw an otherwise well repsected news agency into a groveling for scraps position. When all of the money is flowing uphill why is it not suprising that the media is getting stomped. I mean that if the swift boat men, and the swift finacial spying, and the direct phone spying, and the not so direct phone spying, and the stealing from native americans to fund illegal campaign stratagies, and the graft and the corruption, and the leaks that kill american covert patriots, is not enough to convince you that there is way more to worry about than this one fat flatulant gas bag then there is no hope for this society. Not that I believe american soceity will be any less than a dictatorship sooner then anybody could imagine.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11636447.post-1152134292137362072006-07-05T17:18:00.000-04:002006-07-05T17:18:00.000-04:00Well I see the anti's are descending into a bitch ...Well I see the anti's are descending into a bitch / whore-type discussion, again.

I don't normally expect much of her or anyone on NBC, but whoever conceived the show, booked the guests, and scripted the show set Bennett up like a cheap kewpie doll. It was a thing of beauty to watch, and not one moment too soon.<BR/><BR/>The media are chickenshits; they're so scared of the right wingnuts that they self-censor like a battered wife; the sort of abuse that comes from the right is utterly alien to the left of us (to coin a phrase), and it may be that love is all we have, that on such a rare and signal event, we should send a little praise to whoever put that smackdown together.<BR/><BR/>I was amazed to hear Safire stick with his journalistic tribe, but I'll take it. <BR/><BR/>Maybe that's the model of how to deal with the likes of Bennett; to isolate them and then beat them about the head and shoulders... which leads me to wonder whether his wind-up fan club has astroturfed NBC yet.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I've gone off the NYTimes, after Judith Miller's crimes, who hasn't? But a friend e-mailed me a clip from another blog this morning, it ended with a suggestion that the reason the WH hammered the NYT and let the WSJ and the LAT off the hook is that there's an even yet worse revealation coming, and they're after ginning up a knee-jerk response, keeping the gallery tuned up as it were. The distraction of the shivaree is an important component of their theatre.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
