David Broder is WRONG on MTP. The MEDIA is DEAD.
He's defending the press for the DSM story because it's on the front page of the WaPo. Hey Mister Broder, this fucking story broke on MAY 1. The MSM is broke.

2. Broder himself has been brain dead for a long time. Have you ever read
any of his columns?He has never met a Press Release he doesn't like and he is in love with cliches.

5. You are absolutely right.You will never see a criticism of other press
people on the mainstream press except on writings by someone like Frank Rich or Paul Krugman.Got to keep options open, see?In case the plum job opens up at the NYT or WaPo.

6. I know, they're so proud of themselves for FINALLY paying
attention to the DSM.

press: "I think the press is great, don't you?"

press: "Oh yes, doing a wonderful job!"

7. The Washington Post story is nothing but a diversion
Broder has a lot of nerve pretending the Post story is an example of tough investigative reporting. The Sunday Times headline on the story is: "Ministers were told of need for Gulf war excuse." The Washington Post wrote a story about poor prewar planning.

9. The "Whorington Post" is filled with CIA operatives.
Think Kathrine Graham was our "friend"? Hell NO!

She was one of them. She was always our enemy as is her son Donald.

8. There is no media. It's been replaced,...
,...with government propaganda and infotainment.

There is no media.
