McCarthy’s Benghazi Committee Truth Gaffe is an Indictment of the DC Press Corps
Josh Marshall makes an important point.
The only thing amazing about this is how it took a momentary remark by McCarthy to suddenly make what everyone knows into an acceptable point of public discussion: namely, that the Benghazi Committee was not only a transparently political exercise (that’s hardly unprecedented) but just a complete crock by every definition. Without McCarthy’s clumsy remark, DC’s establishment press apparently didn’t realize this was the case or didn’t think it was an acceptable point of discussion. That’s amazing.
Your “liberal media” everybody… Fair and balanced!
I call it The Corporate Media, owned and operated to a large degree by the same people and groups that run the Republican party. Journalism is as dead as the Fairness Doctrine, replaced by propaganda and a Chuck Todd unwillingness to call out near hysterical liars like Dick Cheyney and the NEOCONS. Fox News is the worst, but the rest are not far behind. The Washington Press Corp? Their terrified of losing their seat at the table and play the go along get along game all the time.
