Where were all the flaming liberals in the media during the run-up to "Operation Iraqi Freedom"? I do not recall any members of the mainstream media posing tough questions about those huge stockpiles of WMDs that Saddam must still be hiding. I do remember this real hardnosed journalistic query at a prime time news conference just weeks before our illegal occupation: "Mr. President, how does your faith sustain you in difficult times such as these?" (or something to that effect - a real zinger huh?)

Where were the hardball questions when Bush, Cheney, and Rice were spewing either their lies or incompetence? I guess the Laci Peterson story was more important.

"Liberal" media? Get real! The CORPORATE media is all about ratings - bottom line. The so called liberals in the mainstream seem plenty willing to go along for the ride when it gets the viewers watching. The average American viewer doesn't want hard news, or nuanced journalism that investigates the truth (God forbid an objective truth) - they want condensed, easy to understand BS. Well it's a good thing for them, 'cause that's all I ever see on the idiot box.

Bombast of the day: Maybe it's the hours in front of the TV that's killing the mind of American children? No, it must be the public schools.
