It isn't a question of men being men, it's a question of too much money in the media. If you're a reporter at a paper earning six figures with a house, mortgage, car payments, etc. etc. you're going to protect your job -- not make any waves, "be a good boy," monitor how much you drink and what you say in front of co-workers and the boss. On the other hand, if you're a reporter circa 1980s, making $50,000 a year living in an crammed apartment and your skills allow you to get a job the next month, then you might just throw a beer in your editor's face because he's a jerk and doesn't know what the hell is going on out in Bed-Stuy or the lower east side.

People in the media are so afraid of losing their jobs they've forgotten what the jobs were about in the first place.

Sounds like many of those House Republicans we sent to DC in 1994!

Sounds like many of those House / Senate Republicans we sent to DC in 1994 and thereafter!
