Vas deference

While I'm not surprised at Big Medias' complicity with the McCain campaign, it is amazing to see that servitude in action, and the lengths to which the Media is going. As Frank Zappa once said: "There's a big difference between kneeling down and bending over".

It is somewhat breathtaking to see the McCain campaign lie, deceive and bully the press and not get even a wrist slap from them. Even I'm impressed. However, the self-yielding of the press to the Republicans though, must come with a price: if the Republicans get re-elected into the White House, given the mess the country is in, the press must be held responsible for that. After all, only a sociopath would allow a pit bull unleashed on the street, after it had already bitten some people.

I'd bet, though, that if the Democrats came to power, and seeing how they treated Clinton, the press corps would find their missing cojones in a hurry.
