I may not have made it clear but I was including local news in with network news since they parrot the national political news of their network. I would also count their affiliated cable news networks. I obviously didn't include FOX because they have been singled out because they are willing to criticize the president.

You can figure who they are because they all have the same mantra, the same focus, the same unwillingness to be critical of the president. Like I said before it is too dangerous to have such a large majority of the media unwilling to do the job the media should do. They aren't being government watchdogs but government lapdogs (when it is a liberal president).

Gosh, I hate you.

Local news? I mean, I thought they basically sucked generally at covering anything other than panda births at the zoo.

For that matter, so does national news. On NPR yesterday afternoon, they did a ten-minute segment on the E. coli outbreak in Europe, that discussed how the bacteria may or may not be a mutant, the reliability of the information, that this strain might have ordinary toxicity but there could be thousands more infected than we realize, etc. Diane Sawyer(?) did thrity seconds on the killer strain of E coli.
