Media Self-Criticism

It's either a sign that our national media, those we on the left have for so long called Media Whores and the So Called Liberal Media (SCLM), are waking up to their true purpose or a sign of the impending rapture. I'll leave it to the reader to decide. But what else are we to think when senior MSNBC correspondent Michael Moran writes what can only be described as a blinding flash of the obvious:

A report released Monday by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that most journalists feel the Bush administration got a free pass after the attacks of Sept. 11. In a poll of journalists and news executives, Pew reports that “the poll finds that many journalists —­ especially those in the national media — believe that the press has not been critical enough of President Bush. Majorities of print and broadcast journalists at national news organizations believe the press has been insufficiently critical of the administration.”

The circularity of the poll makes my head hurt, pollsters asking reporters about reporters reporting on politics. But I just have to say: "No kidding!" and "It's about damned time!"
