Woodward and Bernstein couldn't break a story today if their lives depended on it.

And they want to make darned sure that no one is ever perceived as breaking a story bigger than theirs.

It's too late, of course, but the leftists will continue to denigrate Free Republic and bloggers because they know their monopoly is just about over.

More WashingtonCompost.

They are afraid...very afraid of the internet and the freedom, research capability, and threat that it represent to them and what they consider to be their carefully gaurded and well kept palace.

Like Rush said yesterday, the MSM, really...REALLY... HATES that a Freeper began the fall of CBS.

"In fact, cyberspace is populated by a coalition of political obsessives and pundits on speed who get it wrong as much as they get it right."

I have never met FreePer Buckhead, but I will bet he doesn't get things wrong as much as he gets it right.

What a horse's ass Tina Brown is. Every day these people prove Bernie Goldberg to be absolutely correct in all of his charges.

What they really don't like is the audience OBSERVING them and answering BACK.

They have to be on a podium insulated from the lowly peasants, who are being lectured to and at.

I would dangle more participles but must return to the laundry. Fresh jammies.

Thank you for your opinion, Tina.

Now, go find another magazine you can play with and tear its wings off.

..., the sick sense of always being news-managed by the White House's black arts...

Hmmm... I always thought of Bush as more of a Griffindor type...

Car-ville would make a great Lord Voldemart, donchathink?

I think what really has TBs undies in a twist is the fact that they are edumacated journos, and bloggers in pajamas are just run of the mill dummies, who happened to break open and unravel the biggest story of campaign 2004, and bring downone of the most pompous-@ssed newshack in the business.

She does have it right when she calls Burkett a whacko, though.

But still the panic to beat the competition trumps every other concern.

Especially the truth. This is why the MSM cannot be trusted.

Documents or no documents, everyone knows Bush's dad got him out of Vietnam. Everyone knows he thought he had better, funner things to do than go to a bunch of boring National Guard drills.

Proof! They don't need proof! They've told this lie long enough that everyone believes it. Why did CBS think they needed documents to prove it?

Not everyone drinks the Kool-Aid Nina. The Internet has a voice that can expose your lies.

Must suck to watch the millions of dollars flushed down the toilet on your brilliant creation, the now-defunct "Talk" magazine.

Ah, the spectacle of cannibis cannabilization within the bubble proceeds apace. The thing about the slackingly stoned is that they lose all sense of discretion within their hazy in-bubble atmosphere. This is going to get very entertaining.

Now the conventional wisdom is that the media will be kept honest and decent by an army of incorruptible amateur gumshoes. In fact, cyberspace is populated by a coalition of political obsessives and pundits on speed who get it wrong as much as they get it right.

I don't do drugs and I don't wear shoes while "typing".

cyberspace is populated by a coalition of political obsessives and pundits on speed who get it wrong as much as they get it right. It's just that they type so much they are bound to nail a story from time to time.

Like the old saying about monkeys, right Tina?

And we have Tina's number on what she's obsessed with:

Media Elite: The Wind Beneath Bill's Wings

excerpt:

For pro-Bill gushing, East Coast division, Tina Brown, editor of the New Yorker, laps the field. Brown also attended the Blair dinner and reported on it in the February 16 issue of her magazine. Herewith some gooey excerpts: "Close your eyes and enter this parallel universe, where the squalor and rancor of the trivia cops are temporarily shut out. Now see your President, tall and absurdly debonair, as he dances with a radiant blonde, his wife."

Unfortunately, Ms. Brown isn't finished: "His glamour is undersung. For those of us who had dismissed him as a garrulous, blow-dried, lip-biting occupant of the oval orifice [sic], this comes as a slight shock. Forget for a minute all the Beltway halitosis breathed upon his image. Forget the dog-in-the-manger, neo-puritanism of the op-ed tumbrel drivers, and see him instead as his guests do: a man in a dinner jacket with more heat than any star in the room (or, for that matter, at the multiplex)... His newly cropped, iron-filing hair and the intensity of his blue eyes project a kind of avid inclusiveness that encircles every jaded celebrity he passes. He is vividly in the present tense and dares you to join him there."

The bloggers do a lot more nailing, and in considerably greater depth, that Tina's elderly hubby Harold Evans can manage these days.

It's funny to see the conflicts between Old and New Media right now because, you know that eventually the relationship between the two of them will end up being symbiotic.

This is just the fitting-out phase of the relationship.

This arrogance and condecension make Bernie Goldberg sound like Nostradamus.
Tina doesn't get it.. the documents were fake F- A- K- E!
There is no there there.
The lovely thing about all this is that the next story, real or cooked up that the MSM sets out, another Abu Graib will somply not be believed.
