That's MY word for it, not theirs. It comes from my witty names for Corporate news rags: New York Slimes, Miami Hairball, Wall Street Urinal, etc. (I've never thought of a good one for the Washington Post. I call it the Washington Psst, but I don't think anybody gets it. They're CIA and they get their tips for, um...handling the news, in back alleys with a "psst" from guys in trenchcoats with the collars turned up.) (And maybe gals, too, these days.)

We are so trapped inside "The Matrix"! (Great movie, that.)

Anyway, the Young Turks peep out through the cracks, and, OMG, report back what they see.
