(Swans) The New York Times and a few other papers have finally begun, however timidly, to act like newspapers, and the Bush administration and Republicans have erupted with massive fury. "Those who wrote, published and leaked the story should be tried for treason," Senator Jim Bunning thundered....
.....I have been a longtime critic of the corporate media...Newspapers and TV "news" programs were cheerleaders for the war in Iraq and have sanitized it ever since. They have ignored the stolen elections, barely covered the massive corruption in Congress and corporations like Halliburton, pay virtually no attention to the spiraling national debt. They have, in short, been partners in crime with the Bush administration.
So a critic like me should be happy when the partners in crime have a falling out, right?
Of course...maybe...probably not.
