The Assault of the Conservative Media

HOW CONSERVATIVE TALKING POINTS DOMINATE THE NEWS CYCLE

McCain's lobbyist friend Vicki Iseman - just how much lower are the standards for the Conservative Media Manse?

All that concerted, visceral heat toward the NYT when they got pressured into carrying the story about John McCain's ... dangerously close relationship to a female lobbyist. Trust only your ... GOP Mullah, right? Never use independent judgment or take a cue from the questioning press, oh party faithful?

Look, now, how FOX has "breaking news" about Governor Palin, repeated widely, quickly, fed by anonymous sources "inside the McCain campaign", mostly hearsay evidence - probably uncorroborated - about things Palin may or may not have said.

The whole lot of hypocrites deserve each other. It's sickening how they coarsen the culture, isn't it? Nevermind Hollywood, when you have FOX, et. al.

A cherry on top? Buzz is that the no-press-conferences-please Palin might replace the convicted wealth-distributor, Senator Stevens.

So, I ask, where is the revolt of the Conservative netroots, to all of this?

Over at HotAir, just to pick one hayride, the Excuses-R-Us runs like this:

[Campbell Brown] Naming which smears are false and which aren’t would have been helpful, but we go to war with the media army we have.

Update: Newsweek is full on into it, too. source: "an angry aide". Wow.
