NEWS EVENTS GETTING IN WAY OF NEWS REPORTING

Drinkie McDumbass blames bias in the media for weaking Americans' support for the war in Iraq. To help remove the "media filter" he's got a great idea to filter the media.

Bill Hemmer from CNN (you know, the one with the dreamboat eyes that open all the way to the back of his head and the brains of a bag of hammers) got off more breathtaking stupidity when talking with NPR reporter Anne Garrels and later with TNR editor Peter Beinart (full transcript for those with strong stomatch) including this gem:

"Peter, I think there's two sides of that coin. If you're saying it's actually worse than being reported, could it also be better than what's being reported also, if you consider that these reporters, many of them tell us they want to go cover the new school opening, but they can't because there's another bombing or shooting and that prevents them from sending that story? "
