Rove Rage

Now that the main stream media has finally allowed their testicles to descend, our nation is finally getting a glimpse of just how corrupt the Bush administration really is. But one must wonder why the big change in attitude by the White House press corps? For the last five years this group has been afraid to do a one cheek sneak because it might offend the sensitive nasal passages of a senior administration official, but now all of a sudden they are willing to make simple Scotty hem and haw his way through the press briefings.
Could it be that they finally have realized that they have been used as a propaganda tool? No, because they are allowing RNC Chairman Ken Mehlman and the rest of the closet queens put forth the lame excuse that just because Rove did not specifically name her when he talked to Time's Matt Cooper that somehow this absolves him of a criminal act. The fact that this claim comes from only one email out of who knows how many, has been lost on these intrepid truth seekers and shows their willingness to continue keeping close ties to the White House.
The Republican assertion that this scandal is nothing more than a partisan political attack on Karl Rove and the White House is actively being promoted by many of the major news organizations. And these paragons of journalistic virtue are virtually unwilling to refute this claim, and the few that do, refuse to ask the follow up questions that would shed light on the fact that Rove has committed an act of treason. So the change cannot be attributed to a sense of need to get back to the traditional role of the fourth estate.
By allowing the attack on the character of Ambassador Wilson without reporting the fact that everything that he said was true shows that the mainstream media has not gotten completely over its cowardice. But if the events of the last few days are any indication of things to come, we should all be in for a very entertaining next few weeks. The change in the attitude towards the White House was not born from a want to get to the truth but more of self preservation because one of their own is now behind bars because of Rove and his friends.
There is one constant in history and that is that the truth will eventually come out and if the members of the press continue to play patty-cake with this White House they are setting themselves up for a fall and they now know it. No longer will they be as willing to take what is said at face value and now it just may be that the crimes that have been committed by Bush and his mob will finally be exposed. The fact is that a lot of reporters are extremely upset over the events that have taken place by Karl Rove and it is coming up to payback time. And Miller going to prison was the final straw on the camel's back and it could very well be that the media is mad as hell and is not going to take it anymore.
