They know precisely what they're doing, and why they're doing it ... don't they? And if that's the case, aren't they guilty of criminal behavior? We don't expect Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfield, Rice et al to "examine their own practices" ... do we? We call for their prosecution. So why not these lying swine? Please explain to me why media critics ... not just FAIR ... continue to talk about "mistakes" and "errors" and "omissions", rather than complicity and criminal acts. I doubt you'll read these comments, much less respond to them, so I'm most likely pissing in the wind ... but it's good therapy. Excellent comments, Janine … but how does the need for these corpress bastards to "examine … their own practices" even enter the equation?

They know precisely what they're doing, and why they're doing it … don't they? And if that's the case, aren't they guilty of criminal behavior?

We don't expect Bush, Cheney, Rove, Rumsfield, Rice et al to "examine their own practices" … do we? We call for their prosecution.

So why not these lying swine?

Please explain to me why media critics … not just FAIR … continue to talk about "mistakes" and "errors" and "omissions", rather than complicity and criminal acts.

I doubt you'll read these comments, much less respond to them, so I'm most likely pissing in the wind … but it's good therapy.
