Craig Crawford's Trail Mix: Rappin' Rove Rocks the Media

When it comes to fueling those who adamantly believe there is a conspiracy of elitists between the political establishment and the mainstream media ("MSM" in blog speak), there was nothing quite like the sight of reporters and Karl Rove frolicking on stage at last night's Radio & TV Correspondents' Association dinner.

To date, I have read three stories (although I have not bothered to amuse myself by watching the video): one by Lisa Lambert (from Reuters) in the Washington Post, another by Ed Pilkington from New York in the Guardian (UK), and now this one (Congressional Quarterly) in the N Y Times. All three suffer from the same glaring hypocricy. They're liars, and their excuses are utterly unconvincing. These craven "journalists" are afraid NOT to love Karl Rove, whatever he does, because they are frightened to death of the man with his vast media organization operating out of the White House. He has power over them, and their corporate bosses are comfortably ensconced in bed with the Cheney/Rove/Bush triumverate. So they have a hillarious evening with their hero Karl, then afterwards write embarrassingly lame stories claiming they were just a bit uncomfortable at having beamed so admiringly at such a political criminal. They once again reveal what cowards they are, contributing to the death of their own profession - - just so that can be assured that they will receive invitations to the right Washington cocktail parties and schmooze it up with the IN crowd. Honest internet bloggers are making fools of them, and they deserve it - - AGAIN.
