Conservative Sycophants Lose Credibility by Paul Craig Roberts

[moobu2]

The conservative media will never recover from its role as Chief Sycophant for the Bush administration. Journalists who demanded that Clinton be held accountable for a minor sex scandal (Monica Lewinsky) and a minor financial scandal (Whitewater) now serve as apologists and propagandists for the Bush administration's major war scandals.

The Republican House of Representatives saw fit to impeach President Clinton for lying about sex. The same Republicans defend to the hilt Bush's lies that launched America into an unjustified war that has killed and maimed tens of thousands of Iraqis and Americans, cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, ruined America's reputation, and lost forever the hearts and minds of Muslims.

No decent or sensible person can have confidence in journalists and politicians who take partisanship to such extreme lengths.
There is plenty of room in journalism and politics for arguments over issues and policies. But two solid years of lies is beyond the pale.

Conservative journalists and Republican politicians not only lie through their teeth, but also seek to destroy everyone who utters a word of dissent or truth.

2. He's got the conservative creds to back it up, too.

He's totally right. The conservative press has no credibility.

This administration isn't liberal, it isn't conservative. It's criminal.

4. was also an editor at the national review and wall street journal op-ed

now ostracised by his former comrades for opposing their imperialist war planning and their attacks on civil liberties. there are a lot of conservatives and libertarians (usually of the paleo- variety) who have been rethinking their alliances lately: roberts, lew rockwell, justin raimondo, pat buchanan and others.

the guys at lewrockwell.com (hard-core paleo-libertarian) actually came out and supported kerry in the last election: the first time i can think of any of them ever supporting a democrat.
