Yeah, but there seem to be many who object to any news being reported that reflects badly on the current administration. You know, news from the "reality-based community" as one of his own people derisively called it. From Wikipedia:
<<The source of the term is a quotation in an October 17, 2004, New York Times Magazine article by writer Ron Suskind, quoting an unnamed aide to George W. Bush:
The aide said that guys like me were "in what we call the reality-based community," which he defined as people who "believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality." ... "That's not the way the world really works anymore," he continued. "We're an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you're studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we'll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do." >>
How dare anyone report on "reality" and make the actors look bad!
Poor conservative blogger John Cole has been reduced to thanking God for Chuck Schumer. And he means it sincerely! Link below:
