Ah, the old Dan Rather "fake but accurate" defense.

Isn't that special?

The truth never quite lives up to the Walter Mitty fantasies of typical confused leftists.

In their minds, they are always fighting the good fight against evil Republicans and Nazis and toothless creationists...

My favorite line from Mike Daisey: "What I do is not journalism. The tools of the theater are not the same as the tools of journalism."

Journalists “want to make a difference,” want to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” IOW, journalists lust for power. And they seek power by entering into symbiosis with politicians who also lust for power.
Socialist politicians and socialist (“objective”) journalists criticize the same targets - the people who work to a bottom line, and thereby make the country work.

Journalists “want to make a difference,” want to “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” IOW, journalists lust for power. And they seek power by entering into symbiosis with each other (via the mechanism of the Associated Press and all other wire services) and with politicians who also lust for power.
