Look at CNN getting all picky and defensive and hyper-critical about Michael Moore and his new movie. They do an exhausting point-by-point rebuttal of Moore's rebuttal to their initial point-by-point critique of the movie. That's right, this is a re-re-buttal of a critique of a movie. Boy how they hateses it when someone fails to present the data in the proper way! I pity the next fool who tries to make a point but fails to adequately concede all the different ways the same data can be interpreted !
Indeed, I heartily applaud their zealous pursuit of the truth. I wonder, though, did I miss their rebuttal of Colin Powell's 2003 Iraq WMD slideshow ? That raised, for me, a lot of questions that I thought somebody should've asked. Did CNN ask any of them? Doesn't look like it. The closest thing I could find was an article which uncritically listed each of Powell's main points - "Powell said...", "...said Powell" - without a hint of skepticism or critical examination. Should I be puzzled ?
CNN: bitchy nitpickers when it comes to Michael Moore / kowtowing stenographers when it comes to BushCo's case for war.
It’s all just an insider’s process game to them. So what if Donald hits a few moose along the way, what really matters is teh gossip and political maneuvering.
