The Stephen Colbert Reader (Link Dump!)
The media is now paying some attention to Colbert's devastating critique of the Angry Decider and the Cowardly Media. Yesterday, the Times had a story about how the media, and especially the 'liberal' Times, ignored the Colbert critique.

Five days after Colbert spoke truth to power, the story continues to occupy the number one and number two position at Technorati. Below is a smattering of the accolades and one or two of the whines.

In a piece called, Making Colbert Go Away, Joan Walsh over at Salon looks at the cowardly, lame, inept and accomplice-to-the-preemptive-war media's failure to acknowledge or get the significance of Stephen Colbert's show-and-tell illustration of what journalism is supposed to look like. If anything, the liberal media is more guilty than the conservative, and that goes double for the Timid Times. . . .
