46. Unfortunately I fear you are right

Mon Jul 9, 2012, 03:51 PM

Jul 2012

I've grown so cynical about our "fourth estate" and I've seen many celebratory posts of impending GOP collapse come and go.

"the ignored "Bin Laden sure to attack memo" will be the death of BushCo."
"Outing a CIA operative will take down the neo-cons!"
"Illegal wiretapping will result in impeachment!"

etc....etc....etc.......

In any other country the Republican Party would be a dead elephant, if the press just did its job. Here the MSM's job is not to report the truth. No, their job is to make sure there is as close to a 50/50 horse race as possible which usually means having to have on right wing Rethug defenders on twice as much as Democrats in order to drown out those pesky liberal facts and where cons can implement their favorite tactic of accussing the left of nasty or criminal acts that in fact they themselves are guilty of, thus confusing the populace...and the ignorant TV host at the same time it seems.
