Reply #30: Unusual battles you choose to fight

[Wickerman]

and, no matter how many cliches we want to toss about, I don't see the issue as a "Mountain out of a Molehill" or "Crying Wolf".

I offered commentary that the piece got its dig in. Yep, it did, tabloid or not. A simple and reasonable response would be yep, they did, but it really doesn't make much difference, its only a tabloid. One could interpret such comments as represented by the previously mentioned cliches as needlessly caustic.

Of course, I will also take exception to the actual statements. Crying Wolf? Uh, been around media in general for the last, say 12 years? See any subtle character assasination of Dem pols? I think perception of attacks, no matter how subtle on the Clinton family can hardly be called crying wolf. Mountain out of a molehill? Harldy - it was a comment on the continued stream of crap media or "tabloids" (slight difference these days) has dumped on us since Clinton smacked BushI in '92.

And, of course, this is a message board. A message board for progressives. We are allowed to bitch about the media and other things seen Right Wing. If I were to write into their letters column and bitch, then, yeah, I'd say you have a point.
