Digby on Marshall's appearance on today's Unreliable Sources:
There has been a civil but pointed back and forth between Marshall and Bob Somerby the last couple of weeks about how the "good guys" in the media do not call thewhores out on their Gore bashing. I thought that Marshall seemed sincerely chagrined by the fact that he could not produce any evidence that he had criticized the outrageous behavior of the press during 2002, and he did post a serious critique of Mickey Kaus' egregious turn to right wing hackery earlier this week.
Anyway, aside from all the inside-the-beltway back biting and arcane deconstruction of the MeanGirl media cliques, I am surprised that he and Milbank, both of whom are not even close to the same presstitution class as Panchito or MoDo-the-Cat-From-Hell, would be so blatently anti-Gore on national television. The liberal bloggers are going to go nuts.
They must put sycophantEcstasy in the coffee at CNN. Or maybe it's just a simple adolescent desire to kiss the ass of the most powerful media "critic" in Washington (and Bush busser extroardinaire) --- Mistah Kurtz. Which just proves, once again, that DC journalism as we knew it has become nothing more than legalized brothel for emotionally retarded sad sacks.
Only caught about half but that about describes what I saw. Maybe there are weird mind control devices in the TV cameras..
