I think the WH have dug themselves into such a deep "control the message" hole that the MSM will never let them get out of.
When are the "Conservatives" going to ever wake up to the fact the media is YOUR ENEMY. This constant compiling about "Why don't they fight back" is nonsense. The Editors simply spike any good news for the WH and hyperventilate or misreport the bad. This constant waiting for the Media to suddenly do their job and "report the facts" or for the WH to suddenly "fight back and mythically impose some fantasy requirement on the Dinosaurs to actually report the Facts is a fools fantasy. The Dinosaurs have always been, and always will be, our enemy. Listening to them, and expecting to get "news" EVER, is a waste of time. It is the equivalent of listening to Radio Berlin in 1943 and expecting Gobbles to give you the "news". Frankly after almost 24 months NON STOP of this "Why doesn't Bush fight back" whining I am SICK of hearing it. How about the Conservative Pundits DO THEIR job instead of sitting on their butts whining cause Bush isn't doing it FOR them. Funny thing, NEVER hear Rush Limbaugh do this sort of whining. Only people you hear it from are the psuedo-Conservatives like Kristol.
