An Open Note to Members of the Media:
I watched the evening news tonight, popping between the Big Three on broadcast television.
WHY THE F*CK ARE YOU GIVING MORE AIR TIME TO BARBARO THAN THE BIGGEST SCANDAL SINCE WATERGATE????
Barbaro was a nice horse. We get it. We loved him too.
BUT YOU AREN’T GOING TO HIDE YOUR COMPLICITY IN THIS SCANDAL BY BEATING A DEAD HORSE FOR P.R.!!!
Redeem yourselves and become the Fourth Estate instead of slaves to corporate masters.
Remember that the first couple of stories you covered — the Iraq War and the wounded Iraq vets — are a direct result of the Niger yellowcake lies.
F*CKING DO YOUR DAMNED JOBS!!!!
