Welcome to the only thing sleazier than overbilling lawyers, overprescribing doctors shilling for pharamaceutical companies, greedy coporate executives, and used car salesmen: the American Journalist. Flawed and crooked and self-centered as the rest of us, but riding around on a high horse, pointing out everyone else's sins, but ignoring their own. This is the last great industry-wide scandal left uncovered in America. Because of course, they'd have to cover it themselves. And none of them have the bravery to take their own inventory, to list their own pathologically self-centered faults. They'd rather just go after yours. mine and those who disagree with them politically. (Pat Dollard)

Bumping to the top again. Fellow freepers must spend the time to read this. He covers it all and says what has to be said in a brutal truthful way. This is one of the most important posts I have seen here since following FR.

((((Ping))))

If you have the time you may wish to read this excellent post. It's written by a former Hollywood executive, Mr. Pat Dollard, who sold everything to hang with the Marines in Iraq. He was there for seven months and is in the process of finishing up a 20 hr. long documentary to be out late summer. Mr. Dollard will be on Hannity and Comles Wednesday, July 5th. Hope you enjoy his scathing anti-MSM comments as much as I did. Please ping others who may be interested in this topic. Thanks for your time.

This article was an absolutely gripping read. Once started, I couldn't stop. And mid-way through, I read this and thought "he gets it; he really gets it": The era of the morally ambiguous anti-hero is over. The era of the hero is in, and not for trendy reasons, but reasons of survival, and protection of our children, our systems, our freedoms.

Saw Mr. Dollard and H&C. No quarter given to the blatherings of Colmes.

The videos are very good as well.

A must read ping.

The article is old, but still very appropriate.
