Why is Jon the Only "Journalist" Who Gets It?

Another brilliant Daily Show piece.

On the day Goodling testified I watched PBS's News Hour and was disgusted. They showed clips from the testimony and had on a Republican and a Democrat from the committee. The Democrat had a lot of legitimate concerns about Goodling's statements, and then, the Republican, in a shocking development, LIED:

REP. DAN LUNGREN (R), California: I couldn't disagree more with my friend, Mr. Davis. Look, the Democrats expected to have some big bang coming out of this hearing today. You just heard the disappointment in Mr. Davis' voice that nothing came forward; it ended with a thud.

The fact of the matter is, there is no illegality that has been presented with one iota of evidence with respect to the hiring or firing of these U.S. attorneys. Was it a botched job? Absolutely. Did they mishandle it? Absolutely. Did they do it in a way that was inartful? Absolutely.

But the idea that a president of the United States doesn't have a right to hire and fire U.S. attorneys for whatever reason he wants, other than trying to interfere with an investigation -- and there's no proof of that, even though they have been trying to suggest that -- people ought to understand.

Modern day journalism is a joke. No effort to get at the truth. Pathetic. Did Margaret Warner, the interviewer, press the Representitive Lungren on his B.S.? Nope. They just present "both sides" as if it is impossible to really know which side is correct. Pathetic.
