Meet the Sheep

Think Progress covered a discussion at the National Press Club, where some media luminaries tut-tutted about the blogosphere not understanding their journalistic role. Bush Press Suckertary Tony "Blow" Snow was there to add his amens. We think the majority of the press has ducked its role over the past few years, perhaps due to being cowed by the Bush Assministration's wielding of the 9/11 patriot sword over their heads. There have been exceptions, but the majority have gone along and tolerated the misinformation doled out by the Bushies. It's not that journalists should advocate a political issue, they just need to stop acting as stenographers for the Assministration. Otherwise, we might as well go directly to this.
