Quote of the Day
"In a post-Sept. 11 world, I thought the prudent use of violence could be therapeutic."
--Washington Post's Jeff Cohen, giving a non-apology apology for his unbridled support of the Iraq war.
This, ladies and gentlemen, is your 'liberal' media. They support wars that kill thousands and thousands of people because it makes them feel better. These people are sick. And yet right-wingers view them as 'liberal' or 'anti-war' because their reporting has in the past year or two acknowledged the basic reality of it all. Those people are delusional. Put together, it's helped lead this country into numerous disasters, foreign and domestic, in the past six years.
Will a Democratic congress be able to change all this? That's the $64,000 question.

I tend to have a problem with terms like "the liberal media". You have media outlets such as FOX News where slanted and biased would be major improvement, but more often than not it's better to judge individuals exactly that way. This one, for instance, is an idiot.
I don't believe in the myth of a "liberal" media, hence my use of quotes. I worked at NBC News for a while when the war began and I know that the only bias of the people there was something exciting to put on the television... they all were cheering the war on, not because they were liberal or conservative, but because it was a damn good television show. Until the storylines got darker.
And as Mr. Cohen's remark illustrates, many found it "therapeutic" to kill innocent muslims to help them get over 9/11.
What a country!
