The MSM has been trotting out Ben Bradley daily....almost hourly to shore up the canards which the Washington Post and Woodward have inculcated into the minds of the American public. The parallels which we mention (Tripp and Felt) are self-evident with the exception that Felt was under obligation of law to not divuldge 302 information...but he did. Tripp was under no such legal strictures. Felt was a law unto himself and the Media, which worships at the monacre of "A Nation of Laws, Not Men", have been feverishly trying to recast priorities now that they have been exposed as duplicitous shills by their own words. They are now in the process of accepting what they previously regarded as unacceptible. The American public needs to tell them to fish or cut bait. Make up their minds, but don't try to make up our minds.

Very true--I saw his boring mug on the tube again today.

Yes---the media's leaky boat has to be patched, and the MSM forms the wagons in a circle every time. They know a loss of credibility by one pillar puts them all at risk.

A perfect example of this was when Newsweak was under fire for its abdominal behavior. The White House press corps went ballistic on the President's spokesman for daring to point out the obvious. The NY Times chided the Bush Administration for having the gall to suggest a media outlet act with professionalism.

The latest orgy of stories alleging "abuse" of the Koran are payback for Newsweak getting caught with its pants around its ankles. Do you know what Muslims consider "desecration" of the Koran? Standing above the Koran, touching the Koran with the left hand, allowing the bottom sole of your foot to point in the direction of the Koran. I am not kidding.

For this, the media is willing to endanger American soldiers serving in hostile places, and US civilian citizens living abroad. All because the MSM needs to shift the focus away from its own shortcomings.
