Even Bad Weather



Your job, as journalists, is to tell the truth. That's what you claim you do,
when you accept people's money to buy or subscribe to your paper.

But right now, you are consenting to or actively promoting a big fat lie --
that the housing crisis should somehow be blamed on Bush, McCain, and the
Republicans. You have trained the American people to blame everything bad --
even bad weather -- on Bush, and they are responding as you have taught them
to.

If you had any personal honor, each reporter and editor would be insisting on
telling the truth -- even if it hurts the election chances of your favorite
candidate.


But the mainstream media--which is to say, most reporters and editors who
work for "mainstream" news organizations--have no honor and are not interested
in truth. They are, as Card says, "the public relations machine of the
Democratic Party."
