She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not: Hillary Clinton and the Media

[No Longer Free State]

Scott McClellan got chewed out (rather unprofessionally) by the WH press corpse for saying Newsweek had a responsibility for undoing some of the damage done by their bogus Koran story. They thought the WH was "telling a newsmagazine what to write about".

Here's Clinton ACTUALLY telling them what to write about and their response is "aw shucks" awe. The hypocritical bastards couldn't stoop lower.

I'm sure they felt much better after the witch's tongue lashing and said, "May we have some more, please?" The clueless leftist twits will drool all over her when she runs for Senate next year and they know it.

I agree! The double standards are so blatant that it makes me sick. Anyone who dares to "blow the whistle" on a Democrat is treated with contempt in the media...as they become the object of redicule (i.e Tripp or the Judicial memos) and even criminal indictment. The media completely ignores the substance of the charges, deciding to focus on the "leaker" and his/her ulterior motives.

Yet, when a Republican is accused of anything, the whistleblower is hailed as a hero, even when there is no substance...or if that info is obtained through ill-gotten means. Deep Throat is now a hero even though he may have violated Federal law...while Ken Starr, who was never proved to have done anything wrong, was tarred and feathered for supposedly leaking Grand Jury info.

Linda Tripp becomes a headline story for months as she is practically indicted for taping her conversations with Lewisnky...while the old Florida couple who taped a cellphone conversation between Newt and a ally...and as they pass it to the Democrats, is wisked away behind other headlines. I'd love to say what I really feel, but then I may end up in jail.

yeah...and in the same breath (I forgot if it was Fineman or Isikoff)..he says it was up to the Pentagon to basically "proof read" the story and correct any inaccuracies.

In other words, it was the WH's fault for not telling them what to print...yet when McClellan suggests a little accuracy in their articles, they shout, "how dare you tell us what to print." The media has officially become a political entity in this country...even speaking out of both sides of their mouths, just like Democrats.

The difference between a dream and a fantasy is the possibility of fruition. Unfortunates you are well beyond both in your rearvierw mirror you will see the back of the sign that says welcome to delusionalville

We need a revolution--that is the only way this crap is cleaned up.
