The Lose-Lose Of American Media Position....

As much as it amazes me that the American media has taken sides with the terrorists in the battle of Iraq, it amazes me even more that these clowns have put themselves into this position. What will happen if Iraq actually works out as GWB has planned it? Oh-no, what are we going to do George, what are we going to do?
Clinging to each other in their loneliness and alienation, George and his simple-minded friend Lennie [the press] dream, as drifters will, of a place to call their own. But after they come to work on a ranch in the Salinas Valley their hopes, like "the best laid schemes o' mice an' men," begin to go awry.
Duh? All the months of gloomy predictions and the grilling of administration officials, slanting news and misreporting events are going to come to nothing. And all these bloggers will be able to tear apart every slant, misrepresented fact and absolutely lie.... How awful will my life be, George? How awful will be my life? Maybe we can lie our way out of it, maybe we can create an alternative universe?

What now? Maybe some gnashing of teeth or something? Katrina may have been the key to the presses plan to divert attention away from their failings in Iraq but only to open up the new wounds of their absolutely awful job on reporting on their own territory. No excuses now. I am sure that maybe the press can do a good job reporting on a royal wedding if only the US had royalty. Or some royal scandal would come in handy right now! where is Richard Nixon when one needs him? Maybe there are some cats stuck in the trees in Iowa that need reporting on. Quick get on that! Clowns!
