Just Because You're Paid To Be A Journalist, Doesn't Mean You Have To Act Like One

A True Story From National Public Radio

Arun Rath: Greetings Generic Republican legislator, I am your friendly NPR customer service rep. How may I help you today?

GOP Rep. Tom Cole: Can you let me rant about the evil of Nazibama, ask leading questions to set up my talking-point playbook response, and not point out a single factual error? That would be swell!

Arun Rath: Why yes we can! That is our job here at NPR! Can you put on a pretense of having any kind of conscience or moral principles whatsoever?

GOP Rep. Tom Cole: Nope.

Arun Rath: Ah, well...we don't really care, we get paid either way, you know?

BizzaroVision - Graham On Greta

Risky Business in Libya - Fox News Video - FoxNews.com

Senator Lindsey Graham treads into BizarroVision by not marching inlock-step with Fox News by dismissing the idea that Al Queda [or insert your favorite Islamic terrorist group here] is set to take over Libya. As if that wasn't strange enough, he refused to disparage Obama for intervening in Libya. Not only did he support the intervention but said that Daffi 'must go.' Or something like that.
