He let the e-mailers have it. He went off on them like Neil does to France. Then he started talking about the virtues of Freedom of the Press and how important they are to guard against government fed propaganda.

I like the idea of the embedded journalists, but most media and people have forgotten that there is a difference between journalists and columnists. They've blended the two.

And if the "elite" media is going to try to create ditto drones out of its viewing public, then it becomes all the more imperative that all the views be heard, that stations with other viewpoints be encouraged to grow.

I mean, isn't that the reason Clinton went after Microsoft? Because Libbers don't like monopolies? Unless, of course, they're the ones with the monopoly.

Thanks, Dergie. I have very little respect for most journalists, but I do think that the embedded Fox reporters are doing a great job. I couldn't tell you what the others are doing because I don't watch them. I will miss Michael Kelly and I don't understand why he and David Bloom were over there. Both have young children and I think that their first responsibilities should have been to their children. I read yesterday that David Bloom was warned to seek medical attention for his leg, but he choose to ignore that advice. I don't get it.
