I am sorry folks, but my mind has changed about the media.
I used to think that the real media bias was simply a factor of laziness and stupidity. Events of the past 4 years have changed my mind, and this past week has sealed the deal.
Honestly, ask yourself: “If there had been wholesale slaughter, mass confusion, explosions, massive voter irregularties, brutal murder of innocents, would the press have been this silent about the successful democratic elections in Afghanistan?”
If you answer is yes, quit reading me and go back to Atrios, Pandagon, Oliver, and the Daily Kos.
