That's what I've been asking myself for the past five years. Why in the HELL the media allowed themselves to be railroaded into becoming lapdogs, I sure as hell don't know. Yeah, yeah, 9/11. But I'm sorry, that does not excuse the disgustingly syncophancy that came in its wake. Times of crisis are when we need a tough, critical media MORE, not less. It's far too easy for a ruling group to use that kind of event to its advantage, "let's all pull together" be damned. The way they said nary a peep while Bush & Co. hijacked the whole country was disgusting, and I have no sympathy whatsoever for their cowardly coat-tail riding. Feh.

Must make a Keith icon now!
