If you needed any more reasons not to trust TV news...

...well, here they are.

A particularly choice quote:

By September 12, even the White House admitted that FEMA had been its own disaster area by pushing out its Arabian-horseman-turned-jackass head, Michael Brown. (Bush finally admitted on Tuesday that the buck was going to stop with him whether he liked it or not. “To the extent the federal government didn’t fully do its job right, I take responsibility,” he said.) That same day, CNN’s parent company, Time Warner, announced the hiring of DeLay’s chief of staff as a top Washington lobbyist. This news, and its timing, prompted Jeff Chester of the Center for Digital Democracy to tell the L.A. Weekly: “Time Warner aligning itself with the right-wing DeLay machine should send shudders [down] CNN and HBO. Clearly, TW wants DeLay insurance so it won’t have to face cable-ownership safeguards, à la carte rules and broadband non-discrimination policies.”

Mmmyeah. I love the smell of politics in the morning. It smells like rotting garbage and mold and--hey, actually, that's the sludge coating so many homes in New Orleans! What do you know!

Fuckers.

I'd say how much I agree with you, but at this point in the sublime ridiculousness I can probably only articulate it with a series of grunts, rolled eyes, and perhaps some drooling.

By the way, I've friended you. I heartily agree with your politics, and if Emma thinks you are so wise, then I have to believe you most certainly are... :)
