Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Media Police State The Regime
More White House hypocrisy
The Obama administration is quick to point the finger at foreign regimes that persecute truth-telling journalists, but slow to own up to its own repressive policies. From David Carr: Last Wednesday in the White House briefing room, the administration’s press secretary, Jay Carney, opened on a somber note, citing the deaths of Marie Colvin and Anthony Shadid, two reporters who had died “in order to bring truth” while reporting in Syria.

Paterno dead after Penn State child sex abuse scandal breaks.
Bevilaqua dies right after getting okay for being called to testify on Catholic church child sex abuse scandal.
