There are two levels of media; the traditional outlets and the blogosphere/Twitter. The national media is being scooped and in their zeal they are losing control of their standards. I do believe there are rational people who want to report the truth at CNN, The New York Times, ABC etc. But they are being beaten to the punch time and time again. They have to look at the blogosphere as the National Inquirer and trust that the reckless lies can only be beaten with time. The blogosphere and Twitter are dominated by hopelessly zealous fanatics and they know exactly what to say and do. It is coordinated, if not overtly by offline meetings, then instead by an understanding of what how the cult thinks and what works. We must ALL recognize the propaganda machine that is in play. I'm not saying it doesn't happen on the right but this week was a disastrous example of the left-wing hate machine.
