MOST media people are not dumb as a box of rocks, right?

[annabanana]

I mean, they HAVE to know how stupid they look flogging this Kerry story, right? Don't they?


DAAMN, the cocktail party circuit must be getting brutal for them.

1. Wrong, and don't be insulting rocks in a box. ;)

[librechik]

2. I work for a news organization--3 of the top folks who make decisions

didn't have a clue that Kerry did anything OTHER than insult the troops. My boss had to tell them to listen to the whole segment. Then they hedged.

There are many many people in editorial/decision making positions in media who would make boxes of rocks look like Nobel winners. And their very smart and informed underlings can do nothing to enlighten them.

Sigh.

3. How many rocks in the box?

I mean like a box of three or four rocks - i'll bet they could outwit that - but a box of 20-25 rocks? That might give them a run for their money.

11. But aren't you leaving out the 49% of the people that

would be outwitted by 3-4 rocks in a box?

And the 26% that would be outwitted by the box itself?

(Not to mention the 11.4% that are unable to figure out that boxes even exist.)

4. They should have known something was in the wind a few days ago

when the White House held the RW Propagandist Cheerleader Camp.

By that I refer to the day they hosted all the RW parrots to a day at the White House so that they could interview all their favorite idols and get all the latest talking points. They knew they were obliged to render 'payback' and the trumped up Kerry issue fit the bill.

7. Good Point!

Bush always telegraphs his moves. It must drive Rove crazy.

5. It's hard to tell how dumb a person is

if he's being paid to act that way. And us rocks are a lot smarter than some presidents I could name.

6. They're playing to the lowest common denominator.

It's all about ratings. The idiots love this kind of thing.

8. The ones who are not as dumb as the rocks have another agenda...

9. Actually they're dumber - but aren't they attractive?
