I'm exasperated too. Sick of it entirely. Unnamed sources, photo manipulation- it's a damn daily shelling. It's a media war, and the media has their own horse in the race, hence the selective laziness when it comes to the checking of one's facts.
Even the seemingly lone dissent to Mr. Moran's original piece had his eyeballs fixed on yet another diversionary topic before (it seems) even digesting what was actually said in the original.
Back in college we'd call it "wetbrain"- the inability for one to remain focused on any issue long enough to see it thru. The distracted mind syndrome. Since this war began the mainstreem press has been in high gear to create this sort of mass-morasse of self-curtailed and tailored items of timing in order to keep the "wetbrains" looking at "the next" big ticket news item- rather than keeping their eye and focus on point- unless and only if that point were to undermine support for the war. And in particular this President.
I'm tired of not being able to trust the press. THEY, I dearly pray, are the ones who will wake up.
...not holdin' mabreath tho. Great piece Rick- I feel ya.
