"READER CHRIS WREN EMAILS:
[indent] There were a few things that convinced me that yes, there really is such a thing as the monolithic Main Stream Media, and that they really are biased to the point of unprofessionalism: Dan Rather's petulant rant blaming bloggers for exit poll confusion, the haste which the networks and major media outlets leapt at calling the election for Kerry, and finally that whole thing Drudge is posting right now with the CNN Bush images labelled a**hole.jpeg and moron.jpg.
On the whole, I have to concede that the blogosphere conducted itself with far greater professionalism and integrity than the media giants.
[/indent] Yes, I had seen the photo story earlier on Wizbang. And, yes, it does raise the question: If they're willing to do something this petty and spiteful where they think no one will notice, what other things are they doing where they think no one will notice?"
