Guys in Pajamas bust CBSJohn Fund of the Wall Street Journal opined about what he considers to be a watershed media moment [LINK.] Referring to the CBS/Bush memos debate last Friday on FoxNews between former vice president of CBS News Jonathan Klein and The Weekly Standard writer Stephen Hayes, Fund writes:
Mr. Klein dismissed the bloggers who are raising questions about the authenticity of the memos: "You couldn't have a starker contrast between the multiple layers of check and balances [at '60 Minutes'] and a guy sitting in his living room in his pajamas writing." He will regret that snide disparagement of the bloggers, many of whom are skilled lawyers or have backgrounds in military intelligence or typeface design. A growing number of design and document experts say they are certain or almost certain the memos on which CBS relied are forgeries.
Fund writes of a defensive Dan Rather going on the air last Friday and claiming a counterattack from partisan political operatives. And says that in reality, traditional journalism now has a new set of watchdogs in the "blogosphere."
This is a time that's going to be looked back on, when a press revolution was completed, when the old media giants fell, when a monopoly was emphatically shattered, and when the new media solidified its right place as one of the great and good forces in American society which I firmly believe that we are, ladies and gentlemen.

Email-able, copyright-ready cartoon you can use in emails, on blogs, in flyers, on posters... anything that's noncommercial. |
I had just swallowed the last of my second cup of coffee before I scrolled down to the cartoon, and it's a darn good thing I did, too, otherwise I'd be wiping the monitor instead of typing! Thanks for a great belly-laugh!
priceless, bttt.=o)
Linda, this is great. I was hoping you would do a graphic on this. I'm gonna have to save this for posterity. What about the female freepers, do we get one too?
A true LOL moment!!!!
The bunny slippers are an especially nice touch.
And yes, I'm still in my nighty :-)
Lol, those slippers..
Thanks for the heads up!

Thanks, my thoughts exactly. My husband doesn't read or post here at FR, I do!
LOL! Love THAT one..Chicks in PJ's! Cool.
Me, too. It's my new background (the chicks on, that is).
Pajama People...and what we have here on FR are Pajama Parties.
Great cartoon!
Perhaps you should try sending him a text message and send him a link to your graphics or something like that, explaining to him what you're attempting to show him.

I would think FR Pajama people would use lion or tiger slippers not sheep slippers.
Actually a fine genuine leather slipper is more my style.
Oooooooooooooooh Moose slippers. Where did you get them?
Best yet! (imho)
Our military (God bless 'em!) have their JDAMs.
Regular Americans have their PJAMs.
Look out, CBS, INCOMING!
This is soooo cool.
