Why I hate the media
Senator Joe Biden was just on Paula Zahn's show and she asked him some dumb-ass question about why Kerry isn't polling better. Biden launched into an impassioned denunciation of the administration's bumbling in Iraq, pointing out that Sanchez and Abizaid said last year that the explosives were there, etc. Then Zahn, that bimbo, simpered, "I'm not going to let you avoid my question" (I paraphrase) and asked him again about the polling. It went on and on. The interview ended with Biden saying he was very angry (Zahn sniffing "I can hear that in your voice") and then apologizing to Zahn. Fuck! Zahn should apologize to him and to the entire American public for her and her profession's obsession with process over policy.
Everything Bob Somerby says about these people, your millionaire press corps, is right. They're lazy, vapid, and obsessed with trivia. They'd rather gossip and speculate about the horse race aspect of the campaign than talk about real, profound policy differences between the candidates. Lazy, worthless bastards.
