Kurtz admits it...the media for all it's indignant posturing about "objectivity" are really just a bunch of swallowers. Wish I could say I was surprised.
Sometimes, when the candidates aren't playing the negativity game, reporters do it for them. The media crave negativity because it makes for more exciting stories ("Senator Smith slammed Congressman Jones yesterday, calling him a boob and a bozo, as their war of words escalated. . . . "). So much more interesting than the details of Wesley Clark's child health insurance plan.
So you SCLM whores are basically admitting that you make shit up when the substantive issues fill up your tiny little brains and your eyes glaze over. No wonder you all like the miserable failure so much. You can identify with him.
