1. Well, they wouldn't get back on any show they did that on
It's the same lever the white house pulls on the press corps. Ask a "bad" question and you won't get asked again. Access is everything to a political reporter.

I'm not advocating the status quo, and I do think we have to call the media to task. I'm just pointing out the biggest hurdle that stands in the way of actually doing it.

Personally, I think the only way to attack the media is to make the snake eat it's tail. It is criticism from other media types that moves the media right or left. I think adding or funding more media people willing to call the Murdoch "establishment" on their propagandae would be most effective.

I also think that it's happening now, but perhaps not fast enough.
