The square one of this media folly "big picture" is now quite obvious and quite upsetting,

I think we'll see a few more of these MSM mea culpas that acknowledge wrong-doing, without taking any responsibility. Maybe, in some way, these mea culpas are actually unintentional opuses. I wish!

Matthews (Speaking to Congressman King): No, no, no. Let me ask you. Weren't you dismayed as a Republican Congressman, that the President of the United States didn't watch television for all those 48 hours? That he had to be shown a picture of what we'd all been watching? One of the reasons these people are volunteering is because of what they saw on television. I'm very proud of the media this last couple of weeks. We're not always perfect, but I've got to tell you something. The latest polling shows almost 80% of the American people say the media has done a fabulous job in handling this hurricane, because it's the pictures that people have seen on television, in their homes, that have alerted them to this tragedy. And maybe to a large extent, push the politicians to move a little faster.
