Want something that can distill down to a crystalline perfection the unholy alliance between the corporate media and their Republican masters?
How about Time‘s ‘correction’ to Joe Klein’s shitty article?
In the original version of this story, Joe Klein wrote that the House Democratic version of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) would allow a court review of individual foreign surveillance targets. Republicans believe the bill can be interpreted that way, but Democrats don’t.
Improve on that!!
I do so miss a Jon Stewart take down at times like this cause we all know Time & Joe ain’t learnt a thing, just gotten angrier at those nasty bloggers.
I got a “correction” email from dick.
My response:
i cc-ed this to a dozen people or so. And yeah, it’s unfiar an dover-the-top, but then again, Stengel is allowing falsehoods to be published in his mag as fact, and his audience as 20 million people.
Brendan, that is f-ing hilarious.
When satire becomes real life you have to wonder a bit. And then get another beer.
Is this latest the second or third iteration? Ya gotta admit that they are running a bit frightened. I wonder what the reaction would be if the pressure is kept up.
