re: #77 Dark_Falcon

That might not happen to the degree you think it might IF(and that’s a big old IF) the backstory about National Security was made a part of the story. It’s not about the media really either, it’s about where the hell the leak came from. John McCain himself was bitching about the leaks in this administration earlier this year. Not that it would stop him from going on the Sunday shows and trashing the President anyway.

But yes, our media SUCKS big time and always seem to find a way to either make the story about them(the first rule of what not to do in journalism) or go chasing after stupid shiny squirrels instead of leaving their damned air conditioned offices and actually working the story, so you’re probably right. In this case I’d guess a Republican that sided with the administration would probably not make in onto the TV to state their case unless it was to go on Hannity or wherever and be talked over.
