Journamalism

Today’s political “reporting” consists of petty, catty, gossipy, trashy sniping through anonymous, accountability-free attributions with moist ties to Cheney’s dick. Glenn Greenwald:

”As The Nation's Chris Hayes so perfectly put it: ‘Just when you think the news cycle can't get any stupider, Mark Halperin publishes a book.’

“As this book and the excitement it has produced demonstrates, providing that distraction is exactly what our press corps most loves to do and what it does best. The media sleazebags who turned Bill Clinton's penile spots, cigars and semen stains into headline news for two straight years haven't gone anywhere; they're actually stronger and more dominant than ever.”
