And Now a Word from Our Sponsor

Do you recognize the fellow the left and slightly behind Karl Rove doing his "MC Rove" bit at last year's Radio and Television Correspondents' Dinner? You should, because he is NBC's chief White House correspondent. Why care? Well, now that yet another White House insider has confirmed what we on the left have been screaming for seven fucking years, and in particular chiding (not scolding, only chiding) the press for "being too deferential to the White House," some "journalists" are offended.

ABC's Ann Compton was perplexed: "Is Scott suggesting the White House press corps can stop, or start wars?"

David Gregory, NBC News' chief White House correspondent, opined: "I think he's wrong." He added: "I think we pushed, I think we prodded. ...The right questions were asked."

I think it takes a lot of goddamn arrogance to party with Karl Rove like this and claim objectivity. The Fourth Estate, aka Mainstream Media, is on the inside of the power elite sphere, and they know fucking well who butters their bread. Oh sure, they pose a few show questions now and then, but ask them to leave the buffet in the press room long enough to perhaps investigate beneath the veneer of White House propaganda, and they claim it's not their job. Ann Compton engages in some really dopey rhetoric asking "Is Scott suggesting the White House press corps can stop, or start wars?" Of course the press cannot stop or start wars, BUT THEY CAN DO THEIR FUCKING JOB AND INFORM THE PEOPLE OF THIS COUNTRY SO THEY DON'T GET BAMBOOZLED AND SUCKED INTO IDIOTIC WARS AND SHITTY DOMESTIC POLICIES. If all they do is echo the news releases from the administration, what is their added value?

They make me sick. David Gregory, you should exile yourself to a cave for a while and reflect on the blood on your hands and those of your fellow bootlicking colleagues. Are those press dinners really worth the lives of Americans and Iraqis?

You're goddamned right I'm mad.

LMAO...I just love when the far left turn on their own. Gregory is far and away one of the most liberal reporters out there. NBC has all but sucked off Barry Obama live on the air.

One of Soros' puppet companies published this book, so I am sure it is un-biased and completely factual. Lord knows a press secretary will know EVERYTHING that goes on behind the scenes with national security. I am sure McClellan is just writting this book out of guilt from being part of the BusHitlerCheneyHaliburton War machine, and will donate ALL proceeds to Darfur or some other worth while charity.

Rant on Olaf....rant on.

On a side note, your recent comic style illustrations are visually brilliant. I have no idea what message you are trying to relay, but visually quite good.

Long lost Anon.

Gregory is hardly "one of their own." Anyone who cheerfully participates in the perpetuation of our corrupted government, whether run by Democrats or Republicans, against the interests of the people and who is also known to socialize with the people he is supposed to hold up to the harshest scrutiny is an enemy of his profession and the people.

As for George Soros and his "puppet company" I'd like to know how much of a share he owns, if any, and what his position is (one the board?) that he could pull strings to get McClellan's book published, let alone get McClellan to write the book. Sounds awfully conspiratorial to me.

And finally, thank you for your kind comments on the comic. It's nice to know somebody actually sees is, let alone takes the time to comment. I appreciate it. Now back to the drawing board...well, the computer.
