Miscellanea - The MSM Responds

The New York Times on the Thornburgh report: CBS News suffered a crushing blow to its credibility yesterday because of a broadcast that has now been labeled as both factually discredited and unprofessionally produced...

Superhack Tim Rutten of the L.A. Times says the question of whether CBS showed political bias remains 'elusive' - yeah, Tim, it's hard to find something when you're not looking for it, I know...

The title of Howard Kurtz's piece in the Washington Post? 'A Setback for a Network, and the Mainstream Media'...

Naturally, Mary Mapes is crying foul...

ScrappleFace on Dan Rather's reaction : 'Our long national nightmare is over'...

How about our good 'progressive buddies? We haven't sampled their take yet. Don't bother looking for a reaction from the Daily Kos - there is not a peep, it's a total non-event next to such stories as Howard Dean's pathetic attempt to stay relevant...likewise at TalkingPointsMemo, where the big story of the week so far has been the cost of the inauguration ceremonies. You can close your eyes, fellas, but you'll have to open them sooner or later...
