OUCH! The Media, In Their Alternative Universe, Gets Defensive About McCallan's Criticism
One by one they're coming out defending themselves, trying to convince each other they did ask the tough questions. Stomping all over McCellan, why didn't he say anything before? They're shocked! It was just Gregory's turn at bat, with the defensive blah, blah, blah.

2. Brian Williams said this should cause themselves to
become introspective, to go back and look at the record.

Yeahhhhhh! Right!

3. Yeah, it was a lot like throwing a lighted torch into a barn full of rats.
Watch them hiss and scream as their warm,, entrenched infestation goes down in flames.

4. Charlie Gibson claiming they questioned Powell's UN Address
was one of the most pathetic, lying things I think I have ever seen. I remember them saying he hit a home run and made a compelling, airtight case.

8. Here's Hoping For A Good Pissing Match
This is one the corporate media may not really want to step in. Snotty broke the "club rules"...he wrote a "tell all" that isn't fitting to the corporate media narrative. Now if he had not attacked the corporate media, they'd be singing a different tune, but since he's unmasked the hidden elephant in the room, it's time to find a way to cover that elephant up again.

Look at how the corporate media has handled the Pentagon shill story...they haven't.

In fact in today's TPM, looks like Lou Doobies went to that well again, bring on his good bud David Grange...

The "most trusted name in news" with the "best political team"...that includes paid shills, propagandists and hangers-on. They're the last to come clean in their complicity and are trying hard to both cover-up and revise their own history.

10. Not To Mention The Military Propagandists That Were Briefed By The Pentagon
Prominent among them was the late Wayne Downing, neo-con, who was given a regular spot on MSNBC. CNN had the same version of their own guys. Have you noticed how these "analysts" have disappeared from view? How often have we seen McCaffree or Jacobs lately?

12. They Haven't Disappeared...One Was On Last Night
Lou Doobies brought on his old pal, David Grange...

http://tpmmuckraker.talkingpointsmemo.com/2008/05/pentagon_shill_returns_to_cnn.php

The others are taking a powder right now...hoping for the shitstorm to go away as they know that the corporate media will do their best to "move along"...ya know, more stories about Obama's past or some dead blonde. Sadly, except for those of us who now rely on the alternative media to get the truth, millions still aren't aware about this scandal. When you control the golden microphone, it's hard to be heard about that noise.

Cheers...
