Washington Post

Howard Kurtz, and his Media Notes column, are always good reading

"It wouldn't be shocking to learn that Republicans in Washington were privately, shamefully grateful that the media beast today has something to feed on other than their corruption...."

 

Thread drift?

Go man go:

 

The terrific and terrible story to be telling today is how the American people have been played for fools by the fabricators of family values rhetoric. And instead, what the networks are serving up to us is soap opera. Are the pictures from West Virginia really that much more compelling than the shots of Washington hogs at the trough? Will audiences really turn away from the story of how their government was stolen from them because it's too complicated to understand?

 

Grief porn seems a little strong.

Shameful opportunitic politics or insight?
