In the "MainStream Media", saying something "politically incorrect" can be a career ender. Many bloggers PRIDE themselves on political incorrectness. This is distressing to those who want to control the discourse.

I really never felt that just because someone had a gig writing or talking about politics (hell, or even got themselves appointed to something) that we ‘ordinary citizens’ should be expected to defer to their expertise. Sorry Mr. Rather, Mr, Cronkite and Ms news babe of the day (and, to be fair Mr. Hannity and Mr. Limbaugh), just because you’ve got a job sitting in front of a camera or microphone does *NOT* mean you know a damned thing more than myself (or anyone of thousands of folks on here).
We catch Blather in his big lie and attempted Mass Mediot coup against our president. Now we are catching the implosion of Hill.
Watch the compost video below of how she turns an excited crowd in NH into bored to tears zombies moving to the exits.
Bear with the first 2 minutes of Hill’s bs and then watch the exodus of people.

Like, you could get fire if you make up stories. Wasn't like that in the old day, by gum. Courage.
[In 2004, bloggers discovered that documents about President Bush’s military record reported by Rather were fakes - leading to his downfall as CBS Evening News anchor. ]
The horror, The horror
