Q. What Is A Pre$$titute?

A Pre$$titute is a member of the press who uses his or her media presence to support the Bush administration. Our emphasis is on "non-partisan" mainstream reporters and media outlets who continue to provide cover for the administration despite a litany of scandals, not least of which is the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina. Wolf Blitzer, Chris Matthews, Paula Zahn, Dana Milbank, Howard Kurtz, Kyra Phillips, Bill Schneider, Tim Russert, Howard Fineman, Norah O'Donnell, Elizabeth Bumiller, Adam Nagourney, the Bush apologists at ABC's The Note and others with a similar veneer of neutrality exert a more insidious influence on the public debate than rabid partisans like Limbaugh, Coulter, and Hannity.

1. At least we have more of them
I have been away from American new for 5 years now, I can see a little bit of it every now and then. I watch the British news, which is much better. 30 second sound bites, don't even to attempt to tell a story. They need to bring back programs like White Paper, have real discussions about one topic. America has been dumbing down for to long. Have journalists or so called experts that can debate the topic. Not screaming matches, I also have a dark place in my mind for the Admin.Co.
