...The One-Minute Pundit

Stories like this are useless (or worse, more synergistic jaysonist mea culpas) because people now instinctively know to give up and say, Big Media, you win again. When we turn over our life, our liberty, and even our pursuit of happiness to a few moguls, we may as well burn our Constitution and our laws. It is precisely such stories that led Bill Safire to hope and pray that GENERAL JR.'s rehearsal for his career as a zillionaire lobbyist could be overturned. I wish I could be hopeful, but as the experience of over a century shows, faced down by media moguls the public doesn't stand a chance.
