Reply #84: This really isn't about "liking" or "disliking"

Colbert or finding or not finding his act funny.

It's about how the Washington "journalists" are completely unable to call out the president for anything he's done the past six years. And when someone finally calls them on the fact that they haven't done their job, they get defensive and snarky.

Their lashing out at Colbert for being "mean" is typical of the way the media has covered for Bush. They are complete absolute syncophants. No wonder so few people trust the media. They don't do anything. It really is one big circle jerk. Honestly watching press conferences is like watching a coordinated circus. Has anyone gained one single useful thing out of them? They are the most meaningless exercises I've seen. And usually this idiotic "correspondent's dinner" is meant to break the "tension" between the White House and the media. What tension? They don't challenge him anyways. They look like they have a very comfortable relationship. Colbert said it best when he mentioned that the media be nothing more than stenographers.

It's truly sad these elites can't see the truth. At the best they are a disgrace to their profession and their country. At the worst they are enablers of this horrible regime.

For all conservatives bash Hollywood, I am convinced beyond any doubt that Washington DC is by far the slimiest, nastiest, most corrupt town in the entire nation. The WH press corps are a big reason for that (aside from the K street lobbyists and GOP scum).
