Pukes
Is it just me, or are many people in the media becoming pukes? It seems like every time you turn around, they're demonstrating that they are just a bunch of negative, insolent children.
How about this one. Our astronauts our up in the shuttle
right now, one of whom recently completed a daring spacewalk rescue attempt. The stuff heroes are made of, right? Well, not really. CBS News thinks this is a good time to run a poll showing drifting support for NASA and the space mission. We all know people like this. You get a new jet boat, they prefer outboard motors. You get a promotion, and they talk only about how much more work you'll have. My wife has a term for me when I act like this: Little Black Rain Cloud. (p.s. It's not a term of endearment.)
Or this. Bush nominates John Roberts, an apparently moderate, credible candidate to sit on the US Supreme Court. First, the media bashes his wife because she is "pro-life." (Sidenote: Don't you like how the media will treat particular political positions as if they are just flat wrong. So what if she's pro-life. That position is no more "right" or "wrong" than pro-choice.) Now, the media is investigating his children's adoption records. What do they think they'll do with those? Are they going to be willing to trash his kids' lives over their political beliefs?
Pukes.

OK...since when has the new ever had anything positive to say about anything? I only watch the occational cnn or foxnews when I am bored or can't sleep.
I am baffled by the whole investigating the adoption thing too. Does the media validate the births of children who are not adopted?
Very annoying those media guys...BIG BLACK RAINCLOUDS...(little ones remind me of winnie the pooh)
Well, Tony, if you just "follow thier [sic] lead" I guess it makes you guys pukes too.
Weird post. CBS News has been conducting its NASA poll for nearly 20 years. You're saying that the poll should be suspended, or at least the results not disclosed, while astronauts are in space? Makes no sense to me.
Then you say the media are bashing John Roberts' wife. Who, exactly? When? Where?
And finally, you say "the media" are investigating Roberts' adoptions when in fact, apparently only the New York Times is. To use "the media" and "The New York Times" as synonyms is like using "blog" and "Electric City Weblog" as synonyms.
Fair criticism, David. I did paint with too broad a brush.
That being said, I think that it would have been reasonable to hold off on the NASA stuff until these guys made it back alive.
I will try to be more specific from now on.
Gee Tony... yet another bitter Democrat chimes in. Why don't you have another beer.
And David, in fairness, maybe "bashes" was too strong a word, but why is it even relevant?

Is calling her political position "misleading" bashing her?
