Isn't it amazing? To Darth and EKG...I fault, in major proportion, the press. They've abdicated their duty in this insane push to be neutral, unbiased. It's letting fucking idiots, who think a committee should take just as seriously their idea of bringing coleslaw as a better idea than potato salad to the annual city summer picnic, is JUST as important as talking about some pipe mains that burst.
"Well this is just as important!"
"No, no it's not really...and while we appreciate that you want the annual city summer picnic to be good, please don't...wait...ya know what...shut the fuck up...Seriously. You're talking about god damn coleslaw when we're trying to get a handle on raw fuckin sewage spilling everywhere!"
The press, be it Dem or Repub, should address items for what they are. If the Repubs are slinging crazy around...then take them to task with a vengeance. If the Dems are slinging crazy around...then take them to task with a vengeance. But do so based on facts, real facts as they relate to the situation...and not sidebars...appearing for equivalencies sake...that don't really have anything to do with what's going on. You don't introduce nuance and greys where none exist...or where it has little to do with the situation...because you don't want to *appear* to be biased.
I have no doubt that Dems can be just as big of dicks as the Repubs...but right now...the Repubs are being the uber assholes...call that shit out.
ding-ding-ding...
exactly...there should be no room for 'sides' when it comes down to facts..and the idea that the media can't call a fact a fuckin fact without being labeled 'lame-stream media' by some psychotic Alaskan 1/2 wit should
enrage the media...instead, they've decided to cower even farther under the bed and hide from the people bullying them...
it's times like this I really miss Olberman..
