Fuck the mainstream media

Just watching the news on MSNBC regarding the assassination of Benazir Bhutto in Pakistan. Apparently this is all good news for Rudy! and Hillary ...

The eminently reasonable mouth-breathing idiot Joe Scarborough just announced that the Bhutto assassination is "devastating" to Barack Obama's campaign and helpful to "hawks" like McCain, Giuliani, and Clinton. Granted, I'm no Obama fan, but give me a fucking break. It's only helpful to hawks from the perspective of hawks.

An objective "journalist" might point out that candidates like Obama and John Edwards could benefit politically because the American people understand that it's the policies of Drunky McStagger and the Republicans that have led the world to such violence and disorder. Therefore, isn't it possible that Americans are just sick of war and warmongering, and that they'll see the light and oppose candidates with a hawkish viewpoint?

Not according to the Mainstream Corporate Media, as represented so typically by Joe Scar. And objective viewpoints truly are a thing of the past, because the facts have a liberal bias.

UPDATE (12:38 pm 12/27/07): Apparently when I heard Joe Scar, it was taped, as Atrios made basically the same point an hour ago. Oh, well, GMTA.
