MSM: In between our paroxysm of ecstasy, we promise we will do our due diligence

Mmhmm. Well. We’ll see, won’t we? I remember the conservative media types swearing back in 94 that they would “hold the GOP’s feet to the fire” and make sure all that stuff about smaller gov’t and term limits and sanctity of life actually happened. Instead, they wound up cheerleading for explosive federal gigantism, laughing off war crimes as frat hazing, and laboring to figure out ways to denounce critics as un-American.

The One Ring has this way of perverting all those pledges of good faith. It will work even faster on those who have no vestigial believe in original sin to impede the progress of devouring pride.
