The tempest in the tea party

Rob Schofield often writes things I've been thinking, much more effectively than I ever would. Take a look.

It's one thing for a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank to attack or "report" on politicians with whom they disagree, to rev up their friends and supporters to mobilize to become engaged in the political process, or even for its employees to be active in political campaigns in their private lives. It's another, however, for the think tank to manufacture faux news about a partisan group's endorsement of a politician and then package and distribute that partisan group's ratings as "exclusive" news. Moreover, when that "news" is then immediately repackaged and distributed by the candidate herself, the whole thing just smells bad.

It always smells bad, Rob. This is Puppetshow 101. And the so called liberal media just eat this shit up.
