My Favorite Blogs, from the sound of Mainstream Media
Submitted by Aldon Hynes on Wed, 02/02/2005 - 23:40Moonbats and Wingnuts and fascists and commies
liars and cowards and media fallout
long diatribes with no content at all
These are a few of my favorite spins
When the dow drops
When the bombs fall
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

I posted the following comment there, and I am narcissistic enough to share it here.

By doing so, the fourth estate is failing its duties to promote public discourse about the issues that are most important to all Americans.
