    Wow. Outclassed by the newspaper owned by the Korean reincarnation of Jesus. Roger's gone off the rails, hasn't he, Ken?

    @daveyjonesisdead: Wrong post. You'll need to go back down the hall towards President Obama (you'll see him charming a fat turkey), and look for the first post on your left. Be careful - Martha Steward is helping Jack Torrance look for his son; it would be best to smile politely and scurry past.

    Do magazines think people want to wait for their regurgitated content on a monthly basis again? No. They do not. Silly magazines. You're going to have to offer people subscriptions to a bunch of your sites. And not .pdfs.

    From the looks of the picture, Martha Stewart is in bed with something other than the State Dept.

    With that stick, it is no wonder she doesn't need a man.

    Great post, Pareene. Keep shining a light on the deceit and obfuscation.

    Sadly, it seems that Fox "News" (and the Republicans in general) are the Jedi masters of self-fulfilling prophecy.

    I suspect that the Republicans didn't want to attend an event that didn't feature copious amounts of MEAT.

    Though I must say I found the state dinner menu a lot like food porn, except with some spelling errors.

    When the Big One hits L.A. or the next terrorist strike slams Manhattan, The Post will publish riveting "reaction stories" quoting the old dudes at the Holocaust Museum and Harry Reid.

    I find it delightful that the Washington City Paper, the free paper with Savage Love and Stories of the Weird, broke the story. Ouch.

    One day - and perhaps soon - we as a nation will regret the loss of true journalists. Edward R. Murrow, we need you now. I wonder who will lead the search for truth? Are we to be lost in a world of rumor, opinions, factoids, and gossip? Thank you God for the BBC.

    @Meercat: The BBC is wildly overrated as some sort of corrective to the excesses of US media. It's a bland government organ with its own long dark history of propaganda and suppressing news. Most Britons had no idea what was going on in Northern Ireland, what the government was doing in their name for decades, until the 1990's.

    If anything, the blackout and suppression of news about our dual "wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan , including torture, were media-management techniques the previous administration learned from the BBC.

    They had to cow the press into obeisance though. The UK has no guaranteed freedom of the press, and the BBC is still a government organ. Not as forthright and honest as some of its American fans seem to believe.

    @Baroness: I definitely think this is relative. The BBC is a state organ, but considering it's not our state that is running it, we (americans) appreciate when any major news organization sheds light on events/scandals that our own MSM would like to supress. Not only that, but the level of discourse exceeds our own as well (barring the inclusion of that racist/nationalist candidate on a panel show recently). It is by no means perfect and to Britons, the BBC's flaws are probably more apparent. A good rule of thumb is be careful and diverse in your choice of news sources.

    Oh, how quaint. My local paper will finally live up to the title. It's a shame i can't look at the editorial page (hell, the entire paper) without wanting to rip it to shreds.
