Big Media Hackery

I don't watch the pre- or post-debate analysis because I frankly just can't stand the aggravation of having people tell me I didn't see something I quite obviously know that I did. I didn't see then, the "expert" commentary on MSNBC following the debate, and didn't hear Andrea Mitchell state that Kerry "frankly, pandered on the issue of Social Security."

So what, you say? In his answer to Shieffer's loaded question on Social Security, Kerry quite clearly showed that he doesn't think much of Alan Greenspan's thoughts on the viability of Social Security and what needs to be done to protect it. Greenspan is, as most do not know, the HUSBAND of Andrea Mitchell. Did Andrea Mitchell reveal this as she made her remarks? No. Did anybody else on the MSNBC panel? No.

One of the things that professional journalists like to say differentiates them from bloggers is that they (the PJs) have professional ethics. So when, I'm wondering, will they start putting them on display?
