Incestuous fraternity of media swine presenting awards to each other.

Sounds just like what Rush has been talking about...... the liberal media is giving awards, lavish praises and high fives to each other for the 99% false reports they put out to the public regarding Katrina.

Nominations among themselves for themselves for Pulitzers to follow, of course.

The following excerpt from a FrontPage story indicates that Olds Media started putting out false reports decades (centuries??) ago.
Fidel's Executioner

"One Thousand Killed in 5 days of Fierce Street Fighting," proclaimed a New York Times headline on Jan 4, 1959 about the battle. "Commander Che Guevara appealed to Batista troops for a truce to clear the streets of casualties" the articles continued. "Guevara turned the tide in this bloody battle and whipped a Batista force of 3,000 men."

"Those of us who were there can only laugh at this stuff," say participants on both sides who live in exile today. [5] In fact, the Battle of Santa Clara--despite what those early versions of Jayson Blair reported -- was a puerile skirmish. Che Guevara's own diary mentions that his column suffered exactly one casualty (a soldier known as El Vaquerito) in this ferocious "battle." Other accounts put the grand total of rebel losses as from three to five men. Most of Batista's soldiers saw no reason to fight for a crooked, unpopular regime that was clearly doomed. So they didn't fire a shot, even those on the famous "armored train," that Guevara supposedly attacked and captured.
