Plame's Lame Game

[Preechr]

Yeah... I like Hitch, but he has his weak points. I think the problem is that he is sooo well liked in his community that he gets a pass when he flubs one like his "defense" of Chalabi. Sullivan is another one I really respect, though I'm waiting on both of them to realize that glomming on to the left or the right that hates you is not the practical path they believe it to be. Established parties simply do not change to the good from the inside when their goal is to dominate, especially under the "two" party lock.

Too many good journalists get sidetracked by their own political affiliations, which tend to misguided, at best. Whatever happened to being critical of ALL government? When did that get replaced by being skeptical of only the efforts of some of the government? Wasn't the whole idea of a free press to protect us from propaganda? How is that served by a media that consistently regurgitates propaganda from one side or the other?
