Investigation by The Press?
I didn't think that I was becoming a big cheerlearder for blogging, but I found that I was rather put off by the following, which may say something to the contrary.
Here we find Frank Rich (writing in the "Arts" section, of all places, in the NYTimes — why is that?), in "Gonzo Gone, Rather Going, Watergate Still Here"
Given an all-Republican government, the only investigation [of the Gannon affair] possible will have to come from the press.
But wait for the context: this comes after he has recounted the story of the uncovering [as it were] of Gannon, carefully resorting where necessary to passive verbal constructions in order to avoid making any mention whatsoever of the bloggers who did the bulk of the "investigative journalism" on the story and force-fed it to the MSM.
I have to admit, I felt slightly insulted — not on my behalf, of course, but on behalf of those bloggers and their compatriots who did all the actual investigation.
In light of that, it sound to me like a big bit of pompous, self-righteous bullshit (not that bullshit has a "sound", but my metaphor machine is in the shop at the moment) to suggest that the "only investigation possible will have to come from the press."
