    Apparently there are some senior members of the press who have not been so blinded by the light that they can't see what most of us have known since Chris Mathews told us about the tingle running up and down his leg when Obama announced victory in Iowa. the Obama-press dance is a more consensual seduction where, in the old-fashioned sense, we're the girl[^] I think the line, "Is there an actual limit to the number of instances you can be the cover of Newsweek?," is priceless and suggests that maybe, just maybe, journalistic integrity is just on life support, not quite dead yet. . .And this was published on the Huffington Post? I think I'm going to see if I can get an icecube export license in Hell.

      or not...[^]

      Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

        "Journalistic integrity" has become an oxymoron. Or perhaps it always was one, and the press has just become less adept at concealment... Sad. The people are without any guardians.

              Of course, we should all expect that a young, articulate, charismatic, bold, innovative, breakthrough candidate should generate exactly the same press as the halfwit son of privilege who last occupied the office. After all, it is a basic principle of journalism that you react the same to everyone regardless of their personal qualities.

                How's that koolaid taste, John? Glad to see that you are an expert on this aspect of American life as well. Have you ever actually visited this country?

                    What we need to do is become guardians of the detainees. For 200 million bucks, wouldn't you buy some chicken-wire and keep a dozen and a half in your back yard? "the U.S. was prepared to give Palau up to $200 million in development, budget support and other assistance in return for accepting the Uighurs"[^]
