Were Dan Rather and Mary Mapes after the truth or victory when they broadcast their egregiously sloppy story about Bush's National Guard Service? They were not after the truth, and it wasn't a "sloppy" story, it was a criminal story!

For better or worse, the U.S. media is become more like Europe. Where you have newspapers that declare their allegiances off the bat and go from there.

"
We have a president who feels it's almost a point of honor not to hold more press conferences he's held far fewer than any modern predecessor and doesn't seem to agree that the media has any "right" to know what's really going in inside his administration. The AMMP, meanwhile, is regarded with ever growing suspicion by American voters, viewers and readers, who increasingly turn for information and analysis only to non-AMMP outlets that tend to reinforce the sectarian views of discrete slices of the electorate. "
I cannot explain to you just how satisfying it is for me to read that.
Starting in 1999 there has been a steady stream of events that real people could rejoice over. Here is but another one.

At the height of its power, the AMMP (the American Mainstream Media Party) helped validate the civil rights movement, end a war and oust a power-mad president. But all that is ancient history. And ever since, they have tried to shoehorn just about all events into one of those three worldviews: the civil rights movement, Vietnam and Watergate. But those dogs don't hunt any longer.

To: Grand Old Partisan
The New York Times was founded by a Chairman of the Republican National Committee. Both parties have changed drastically since then, as well as the leadership of the Times organization. Your point is irrelevant today.

"It was posted YESTERDAY...."And at one in the morning, if I may add that. I missed it as is sometimes the case with repost, so I, for one, appreciate it.
