CBS defends Dean's Iowa speech
Sort of.
Whores.

What you are not hearing is a room with thousands of people screaming and cheering.

What you are not seeing are hundreds upon hundreds of American flags waving.

What you are not hearing are members of the audience shouting out state names urging Dean to list more.

What you are not seeing is the way Dean's supporters were lifted out of their slump by the speech.

In a nutshell, you are not seeing that Dean's speech fit the tone of the room.

Let's, just for a second, acknowledge what the Iowa concession speech really was. Dean himself chuckled throughout the speech, clearly recognizing that he was serving up some red meat bloody rare. Dean was throwing a bone to his supporters. He was lifting them up after a devastating and unexpected loss.

Yeah, great, swell, about time. But cBS still manages to blame the media fiasco that followed on Dean and his supporters - not on the presstitutes that took it out-of-context and gleefully ran with it for days on end.

And I'm sure they'll continue to run it just as it is, over and over.
