wonder why we blame media for this mess?

the new york times, once the bastion of integrity, has succumbed to the dark side of pattering to the pansies.

The NYT, meanwhile, has a soft profile of Brown, complete with quotes from his "friend and lawyer." Both the NYT and WP could have told us about the now-questioned qualifications of Brown's underlings, namely his chief of staff (a former event planner for Bush) and his deputy chief of staff (a former flack for ... Bush).

both the NYT and WP in my book have sold its souls to the devil. they are charged with keeping government in check, not being the enablers they have been to the most corrupt administration this country has ever had.
