The smart money in the media sees their own bankruptcies looming and they know that they have a choice: they can be treated like the hedge fund or they can be treated like the UAW. They can be treated like Bear Stearns or they can be treated like Goldman Sachs.
They know that if they protest the fact the administration's brownshirts have been unleashed against the officers of the hedge fund, those brownshirts will be unleashed against them when the time comes.
Of course, none of this runs contrary to the leftist culture which dominates the media so most have trouble recognizing the peril and, if they understand the implications, applaud them.
