Brutal satire

Big Media, so in the tank for Barry it has to breathe through a straw, struggles to find the news angle in a brutal murder. (Yeah, I know, they’re all "brutal muder." But what the hey. It’s familiar, right?)

The revolution will not be televised

Or widely printed, either, if Big Media has anything to say about it. No wonder they’re going bankrupt. Good riddance, toadies.

UPDATE:  No big loss, says Dustbury: "…since they’d screw up the story, inasmuch as it conflicts with the visions of sugarplums dancing in their heads."

Fiddling while Rome burns

Amusing little article here in Columbia Journalism Review followed by even more amusing comments.

The top half of the comments are the usual remarks from the usual crowd of Big Media players or wannabees, fiddling around as though nothing much is happening to the craft other than a vexing problem of layoffs and declining profits. The bottom half is the angry audience, lured to the site by Instapundit. They are burning (and sometimes a little shrill) to let the fiddlers know that their Barrymania is going to lead to far more losses. Indeed, it may be too late to turn it around even if the fiddlers were inclined to play a new, objective tune. Assuming they still have the chops for objectivity, which is doubtful.

UPDATE: Indeed, the lickspittle reporting continues, as Iraq suicide bombings become "progress" on Barry’s watch.
