I started doing media analysis columns for Blog Critics about one month ago, just in time to get on some licks before, during and after the Miller MEdia Mess reached the paper’s own front page this morning.

That’s been an interesting ride.

I credit Eric for having plenty of criticizism personally but please don't let the enablers of The President and his Outlaw Gang off in any way shape or form. The MSM has plenty to regret and be sorry for . There isn't enough space to list half of the purported crimes commited in the name of our country. The Corporate media could have helped stop this catastrophe . The most egregious act of cowardice by the media was their complicity in the convoluted Machiavellian propaganda spewed by the Administration.

The miller “story” is about the corrupt white house occupants who are about to get theirs.

It’s amazing how the press has regained its traditional roots of havoc-making truth muckraking….

“Heard” - as in listened to is significantly different than “heard of” - as in being aware.

In this case, Jeff clearly stated the former.
