Watching the “left wing” news media cover the Rep Anthony Weiner twitter brouhaha has lead me to a conclusion that there is no real investigative reporting left. Not that this is news, but for me it has reached a point of wanting to tune out altogether. There is nothing to learn by watching or listening to these “shows” that purport to inform you. The closest thing we have to actually digging into the dirt, advancing a topic, and seeing it through is Rachel Maddow.
I was watching Bill Maher on his Real Time show last night. He too brings up Weinergate. But not to shed any light on the matter; only to criticize Rep Weiner for not coming clean. We know that Maher had Breitbart on his show a few weeks ago. And we know that Maher treated him like a respected media representative. We also know that if you put these two facts together, you are likely to induce vomiting.
I thought Bill Maher was better than this. Lately, it seems like he is too full of self importance to notice that people are actually uncovering the truth behind the lies. It would be nice if he told the rest of the world, who honestly doesn’t follow things this closely) the truth.
By the way...kudos to all of you unpaid pajama wearing bloggers who are doing the job of paid professionals. Without you, we'd all be Florida.
