Talking points, talking asswhores
Another must-read by Paul Krugman, on how the mainstream television media follows the Republican script - whatever the evidence to the contrary.
You know, strangely enough, during a recent GIS I could not find any pictures of Wolf Blitzer either in a frilly pink tutu or in his usual position, on his hands and knees. Bummer.
Anyway, thank God for The Daily Show:
[Jon] Stewart's second great moment came on Thursday's show after various pundits had skewered the Rev. Al Sharpton for his long, fiery screed about the sacred history of the right to vote - an issue that, given the problems in the 2000 presidential election, might have a modicum of relevance.
After a clip that showed MSNBC's Chris Matthews [and asslicking uberwhore Howard Fineman] drowning out Sharpton's speech with his disapproval, Stewart opined, "Clearly, Chris Matthews and MSNBC had more important things to do than cover the content of a speech that galvanized the convention more than any other." Stewart then rolled a clip of Matthews previewing a chat with an actor from The Sopranos.
- snipped from a great article in the Chicago Tribune.
Our hero.
