Broder is no different than dozens like him. These people work for giant corporations that are strongly aligned with the Right. The corporations hire people to write/report and expect them to do so in a manner consistent with the corporate aim and philosophy. It's called being a shill. When the don't toe the line (dan rather) they are canned.
Posted by T2 at November 13, 2007 09:11 AMThe reason journalists must cover the Clinton marriage with such tenacity is because in the end, Hillary did what the Christians spout all day about - she didn't get a divorce, and she forgave him. That's just too Jesus-like for the Right coming from someone on the Left.
Posted by CitizenBoo at November 13, 2007 09:47 AMDavid S. Broder: Born SEPTEMBER 11th, 1929.
Born on the day of the terrorist attacks in the year the stock market crashed. This man is the DEVIL! THE DEVIL I SAY!!!
Oh, and don't forget the marital loyal McCain dumped his wife after she was in a very serious car crash and ended up 5 inches shorter.
Posted by TIKI AL at November 13, 2007 11:19 AMThis is the corporate MSM. They have been utterly inconsistent in "treatment" of candidates/presidents and pro-Repub for over 15 years.
Of course they weren't going to cover the Guiliani marriages/divorces/affairs like they did the Clinton's or any other Dem.
That's the lay of the land in BushAmerica. Your lib'rul media....

Posted by iamcoyote at November 13, 2007 12:11 PMWhat this thing about the Clinton campaign "warning" Wolf Blitzer on his questioning in the upcoming debate. Wow, things sure are a changing.

b-b-but pants pissing peter says we have a LIBERAL media
Posted by Gay Veteran at November 13, 2007 12:23 PMmoving away from the Blowhard Broder to the big news today:
The Dem Congress is sending Bush a bill with a troop withdrawal clause in it. Oddly, reports out of the Pentagon say that in fact a draw down has begun, with the goal of being some 30-40k troops less by late summer (in time for the election, of course). This gives Bush the opportunity to give a present to the GOP- sign the bill instead of vetoing it. He'd get the money for another few months of War, the troops that are coming home anyway would let him say the Surge worked and withdrawal has started and the poor GOP candidates could go into the election declaring victory in Iraq. The Dems, meanwhile would have given Bush more money to fight the war, again, and would have no ammunition to fight Bush when he asks for more money a few months down the road. And Bush would still have 120k troops in Iraq when he leaves office.
"In the United States of America, we are taught from birth that our press is free from such government meddling. This is an insideous lie about the very nature of the news institution in this country. One that allows the government to lie to us while denying the very fact of the lie itself."

Ever hear of the Mockingbird Scandal? Our media is completely controlled and the pressure has been and continues to be, to paint the Democratics in a negative light. So, what's new? What do you expect from a "liberal media?"
Posted by Judith at November 13, 2007 01:15 PMDavid Broder is an old fart who was always boring and still is. His love affair with Karl Rove and his loving fondness for George w. has never been hidden, and certainly has colored his journalistic endeavors.
