I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

In fairness to the Decayed Triumvirate (and it is difficult on their huge wealth) Web politicking can often degenerate into mobocracy. Witness little's Tarzan yells over a professor who attempted to refute that the Rathergate memos were frauds. InstaPundit has said the Web can't destroy reputations, and he is ostensibly wrong; God knows how many (to use that classic phrase) "urban legends" it's launched, without clear or easy refutation. I feel sorry for this man, caught up now in hundreds of angry e-mails.
In further fairness though, he should have made it quite clear from the start which presidential candidate he contributed to -- and he should have been more careful with his superscripts.

Wanna bet that when DAN BLATHER appears at that NEWS HACK CONFAB he gets a LONG and LOUD STANDING OVATION?
It's official: they're striking a Joe Louis pose and calling RATHERGATE a JIHAD. Isn't it enough for the media-industrial complex to have a stainless-steel fist in a titanium glove? Their contempt for the people who make their zillion-dollar salaries possible is off the scale.
NOTE THE URL. These guys CAN'T be taken fully seriously anymore.

One of the posters linked to this analysis of state voting trends, and after unsuccessfully rummaging through it (and St. Warren's explication) I'm convinced more than ever: polling is alchemy with numbers.

And when not summoning the ghosts of CONCEPT ALBUMS past, The DUBIOUS-PSEUDO-SCIENCE-RELIGION MONITOR assumes the Thinker's pose about movies with -- stereotypes:
Critics of "Shark Tale" say statistics prove the power of the movies to shape public perception. A recent poll from Research Analysis Corporation of New Jersey found that 74 percent of all Americans associate Italian surnames with organized crime. Yet, according to the FBI, even at the height of the Mafia's power, no more than 5,000 out of the 15 million Italian-Americans have ever been associated with the Mafia or any other crime group.

Besides, a "debate" that's about "body language," "facial ticks" and "one-liners" is NOT a debate whatever the RIGHT-WING GLIBERAL says.

I ceased trusting The Wall Street Journals long ago; it's the only papers [sic] that editorializes out of both sides of two mouths. If the cretins of the CONSERVATIVE EDITION can speak of the triumph of democracy in Iraq, why if the LIBERAL EDITION can't go it one better and say we've lost the war. A PAPER WITH TWO EDITORIAL PAGES IS A DOUBLE-DOSE OF RATHERING.

Nobody cares about your damn diary.

Somethin's hittin' the fan:
Republicans have one message for followers of many faiths: Sen. John Kerry is wrong. [Add sound effect here: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!]
Wrong for Catholics, Mormons and Evangelicals say a number of Web sites that the Republican National Committee has created. Each Web site compiles excerpts of Kerry's comments and Senate voting record on social issues such as abortion, civil unions for same sex couples and school choice. [More sound effects: BOOOOOOOOOOOOO! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!]
Some headlines on the Web site for Catholics say, ``Kerry Said Vatican Should Not Instruct Catholic Politicians, Calling It 'Inappropriate''' and ``Kerry Expressed 'Moral Outrage' With Vatican's Statement On Gay Marriage.'' Kerry is -- Catholic. [BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!] [Special CURLEY'S (Nyuk! Nyuk! Nyuk!) STOOGES OVEREMPHASIS added.]
Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer said the tactic is ``premised on the tactics of division, smear and insult. It's unfortunate, it's un-American and John Kerry is going to continue to make his case and make sure his record is not twisted by the Bush attack machine.''
At least one religious coalition, the left-leaning Interfaith Alliance, has called the Web sites insensitive, saying the GOP is trying to interpret religious beliefs for political advantage. Interfaith Alliance president Rev. C. Weldon Gaddy called the tactic ``abhorrent.''
TRANSLATION: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! A WEPUBWICAN'S wunning for PWESIDENT!!!!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!

After BLATHERGATE no one can doubt NEWS HACKS have it in for Dubya. But conservatives do not grant themselves favors by splitting hairs. Face it, maybe Dubya didn't use the words "mission accomplished" in his speech, but there they were, plastered on an aircraft carrier as if for a Republican rally. The Professor and Andy S. were quite critical of this stunt, as they should have been. But then little has this habit of throwing mighty tantrums.
I didn't see the complaints that that puff piece in THE PAPER OF RECORD concentrated on loony-left bloggers; but if I posted cursorily it's because I wasn't ready to surf through ten pages, and more to the point, I wasn't ready to snooze through yet another flack's kissing the feet of SUPERMEGABLOGGERS.
Given that it was a soaring tribute for lefty SUPERMEGABLOGGERS, my original point STANDS.
My only solace is that if no one reads most blogs, no one will read the SUPERMEGABLOGGERS after they've finished being the NEXT BIG THING.

Speaking of Danno, John Leo sings this little ditty:
[T]he goal should be to make CBS more honest, not to delegitimize it or drive it out of business. Already there are calls for congressional hearings--a bad idea. Do we want an all-out vengeful assault on CBS, or do we simply want the network to come to its senses and play stories straight?
It should not be impossible to do good news. But it may be impossible to stop vengeance, what with a long and partisan CBS history stretching back to The Selling of the Pentagon, and beyond. And given my preceding post, there's another rub: with media as mere playthings for corporations and GENIUSES, and with men like THE MOONER rubbing his attitude in our faces, why should we expect, or even hope for, improvement? Government hearings, though, ARE a BAD idea.

One reason the media-industrial complex is in a bind is because of GENIUSES like Marvin Davis, who bought and sold and bought and sold and didn't know or care a damn what they were buying and selling; Fox made the legendary Porky's on his watch. No doubt there will be more Marvin Davises -- and more Porky's -- and more BLATHERGATES.

Outside of my family, nothing held any real interest for me and I was seeing everything through different glasses....
I'd left my hometown only ten years earlier, wasn't vociferating the opinions of anybody. My destiny lay down the road with whatever life invited, had nothing to do with representing any kind of civilization....
I really was never any more than what I was—a folk musician who gazed into the gray mist with tear-blinded eyes and made up songs that floated in a luminous haze. Now it had blown up in my face and was hanging over me. I wasn't a preacher performing miracles. It would have driven anybody mad.

P. S. Lest we forget, the greatest composer-lyricist-singer-guitarist-playwright-filmmaker-conscience of all time came out of CBS, the same company that gave us another great writer and conscience, DAN BLATHER.
I'd left my hometown only ten years earlier, wasn't vociferating the opinions of anybody. My destiny lay down the road with whatever life invited, had nothing to do with representing any kind of civilization....

It used to be that male actors had sex appeal. (DON'T GET ME STARTED ABOUT THE FEMALES.) Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Errol Flynn, Cary Grant, Gary Cooper, Robert Taylor -- all were strikingly handsome men with a surfeit of, to use that overworked word, CHARISMA. Now any slob can get into the movies and have an army of PRESS AGENTS (many of whom work for newspapers) call him "SEXY." Sorry, this is just the umpteenth variant of BLATHERGATE, of news hacks refusing to tell the truth, or worse, trying to SELL SOMETHING.
