It is part of the incestuous media. They are married and/or related to one another like some inbred tribe.
The press in this country is punch-drunk and reeling. Their politics are more clear than ever and their 'stock', both literally and figuratively, is at it's lowest point ever. I've always found it curious that whenever you manage to find a poll on people's perception of the media, you'd find that they'd consistently fare far worse than President Bush could ever get. Yet, the press insists that it's doing the average American a favor, because after all, the press is the country's 'voice', despite all contrary evidence.
They've never felt more naked in the public eye. They are having a major problem getting away with this same dismissive arrogance they've never had to honestly defend out in the open. This particular case begs for Joe Wilson to be served and forced to appear before a Federal Judge. There's enough here by now to get this ball rolling.
We've been on defense for far too long against a bunch of broken, scandal-soaked opponents who are begging to be slaughtered. All this cumulative desperation and pending collapse of the 'establishment press' has bared a very rare fruit. We should be grateful and appreciative of this moment in American media history because it's proving us as right as we've ever been about that fraud.
That works in court since you can't be compelled to testify against your spouse. It sounds so much better than taking the 5th.
