Timmeh in tears, Gregory crying in his beer, MoDo without a clue, Lieberman loses his best friend, Fineman freaking out. The entire spineless old boys network a quivering nervous wreck. We have at least one prop knocked out from the media system that has brought us 6 years of hell on earth and guess what? About 33% of Kossacks are feeling guilty, angry at black civil rights leaders, ashamed to be part of the left, so on and so forth. Anyone who has been around here for a few years knows that Atrios, Somersby, Gilliard, Jesus General, Digby, Orcinus have been working overtime to CHANGE THE MEDIA. This means getting rid of the political media that has so badly let us down. For those who are new to the game SCLM is an acronym for: So Called Liberal Media.
Why do so many Kossacks think this is going to be a clean task? I really can't answer that question for you. We are all entitled to our own opinions....
...but Imus's firing is effectively a neutron bomb aimed at the heart of a clubby gang of reporters, entertainers and politicians who have hijacked the airwaves, and gotten away with it for decades. The infrastructure is still there for a better media but the infestation of corruption has been disinfected a little.
This is a neutron bomb aimed at the nexus of Lieberman's collaboration, Timmeh's obfuscation and Fineman's sycophantic clowning.
It really is the next best thing to having Limbaugh finally taken off air.
This isn't a time for smacking around our allies and people who are clever enough to shut down a major source of SCLM propaganda! It isn't a time to be defending a major part of the SCLM that has hurt us for decades.
