That is, it's not just about Dems (5.00 / 1) (#4)

and what's good for us.  This sort of shoddy journalism is not good for the country, not good for the process of picking our leaders, etc.

This is shown by Tucker Carlson stating last night  that this sort of shoddy stuff was not supposed to happen again, that there had been an agreement to not go after sleaze stories again.  So that alleged agreement conveniently come only after unrelenting attacks on Bill Clinton to subvert the Dem agenda.

I.e., these stories are not just about personal attacks; they are attempts by journalists -- by their increasingly mega-corporate owners, perhaps --  to keep us, whether Dem or GOP, from selecting the leaders with the agendas that we want implemented.

...journalism is like Saxby Chambliss talking about cowards.

I would have loved to have heard that!!!!  Actually, that justifies the presence of this whole unsavory business right there.  

[Newscaster's voice]: Hannity, Limbaugh, et al take a principled stand against yellow journalism.  Hell thaws at 11:00.

Hopefully we'll get more claptrap like that on Hannity & Colmes in the coming days.

I wish I did not disapprove so much of this sex angle. I could have a lot of fun with Joe Lieberman on this.

You should have that fun yourself.

Contrast Holy Joe on clinton and now on McCain.

Exactly. I could not get (5.00 / 1) (#34)

to my remote in time to mute the Bowtied Wonder, as I usually do.  And then, when he came out with that statement, I was so stunned that I had to hear the rest.

But then I came back to my senses and back to reality . . . and punched my remote.

than I do Cream if you can watch Lil Tucker the Fearful of being castrated one. Not that it's not a fear most men wouldn't share if they really thought a woman could do it by being elected.

Exactly  what  I was  thinking!

These  MSNBC  gnats    decrying  the  "lack of professionalism"   by  the NYTimes,  after  the  trash  we've  seen  them   fill  the  airwaves  with,     strikes  me  as   ironic,  to  say the least.  

Shallow  TV  pundits  and  irrational  AM  radio  talkers  have   done   much  to   dumb  down  America's  discourse.
