The blogomiasma has made a big thing out of
an interview ED MURROW did with some INFAMOUS!!!!! Dubya apparatchik, and goshdarnit
if somebody didn't have a chain-reaction pile-up with the obvious:
After being outmaneuvered for nearly 30 minutes, [Murrow] grudgingly admitted that he was "not very equipped to handle the discussion." It was a sobering reminder that for years, a mostly pliant press has allowed a comedian to do a reporters' job. Yesterday, we were reminded how inadequate a solution that really is.Perhaps a mostly pliant press would do more if it
STOPPED WATCHING TELEVISION.
