Ping, in order that I may often return and muse over the sublime wit, and pointed jabs at the vaunted 4th (or are they the 5th?) estate. In fact, I believe that I will feel the impulse to read this at the end of every CENTCOM briefing, so to hasten my return to the world of reality and sanity.

The Fourth Estate is print media. The Fifth Estate is electronic media (radio, TV, web).

They've probably worked their way down the ladder to being the eighth or ninth estate, at this point.

One woman looks down in horror to see that her point is completely gone.

Too funny.

I would assume that most journalists went into their chosen field as hard-core leftists and have never looked back. Many, not all, have a smug, sanctimonious, condescending, ultra-liberal view of the world which facts do not alter. They desperately WANT to believe that Bush is a greedy, oil-supported moron, our military leaders are all ex-baby killers who lust to conquer more "innocent" countries to play with their war toys, and servicemen and women are hicks and rubes deluded by the promise of free education at tech school and a uniform. They "know" what's right and wrong, and if we would just put them in charge, what a loving, caring and sharing world we would have. Excuse me while I vomit.

Interesting how the Fifth Column props up the Fifth Estate so nicely, isn't it?
