the worst offenders of the press
according to Somerby

"Ceci Connolly, Washington Post
Katharine “Kit” Seelye, New York Times
Chris Matthews, MSNBC
Frank Bruni, New York Times
Walter Robinson, Boston Globe

If we chose a second tier, here are the names we would type:

Howard Fineman, Newsweek
Brian Williams, MSNBC
Michael Kelly, Washington Post
Tim Russert, NBC"

Look at that, the WaPo - twice. Where have I heard of them?

Oh yeah, didn't they do a story about the malfeasance and/or inaccuracy of Truthout? Well, if the shoe fits, but have they, perhaps, done some stories about their own fu$%ing malfeasance and/or inaccuracy? Or is that left to writers and researchers on the blogosphere who do not have the huge readership/viewership, resources, and large salaries of an MSM which can apparently prevaricate with impunity while at the same time feigning righteous indignation about the blackness of the blogosphere's kettle?

Also, I wonder if Somerby is getting angrier, since he threw two f-bombs today. I also wonder if it is the f-bomb that makes this line seem so hilarious to me:

"(Along with the other tall tales Arianna typed: The Internet! Love Canal! And that utterly phony farm! You know? The farm you can see with your own fucking eyes if you go see the film she now praises.)"

1. In 2000 may be. In 2004, he can add two other NYtimers: Nagourney
and Wilgoren.

3. Not sure if this fits
but Brit Hume needs to have long slender needles inserted into his brain until subtle control of thought and bodily functions are left to chaos. I would probably give him a lollipop afterwords because that's the kind of bleeding heart gal I am. (Not really but isn't it pretty to think so)
