Media Thrown for Another Loss
It is not hard to get exasperated by the media. My latest rant is for yesterday's display with Tom Delay. I am not sure what the right thing to do is, other than maintain some degree of scepticism, but noone could have been the least bit surprised that Delay would stand before anyone who would listen and proclaim his innocence in no uncertain terms and attack the Democrats for a witch hunt. Okay, so it would be hard for the media to not give him a forum, but he seemed to get more press than those presenting the indictment, then the media did nothing to question the grandstanding. I want to know, who has EVER stood up in such a situation and admitted, "Yes, I did it. I am guilty." Proclaiming innocence is expected, how is it possibly news? I get very tired of every accused "star" getting almost unlimited media attention to declare "I am a good person, I am definitely not guilty and someone is out to get me. Blah, blah, blah. It is rather pathetic really.
