How BushCo coerced the New York Times out of running their wiretap story before the election.
From dday:
That issue looks to be in a stalemate for now. What is far more revealing in this story is how utterly shameless this crew, which should have a restraining order barring them from coming within 100 yards of Washington, has always been. A responsible media would be churning out story after story about the breathtaking state of lawlessness inside the White House, viewing it in historical context and talking about the pall they’ve cast over our nation. As it is, everybody wants to forget it. But that would be a crucial mistake. There should be no binding up of wounds and moving on for the sake of the nation. In fact, for the sake of the nation we must do just the opposite: have a full recounting of the facts and a full prison cell for everyone who participated in this wreck.
What Digby’s co-blogger said.
See my comment on the Krugman post. The media are part and parcel with the corporate takeover of the nation. They get no slack from me; they are as responsible as republicans for the ruin of this nation’s economy, the shredding of the constitution, unprovoked military aggression, torture. Like Hitler’s Goebbels, BushCo’s media is equally guilty of warcrimes.
