Interviewing the mirror
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1175835157.shtml


     It's disgraceful for a man seeking highest office, I think, to talk
     utter rubbish. And that is utter rubbish. It's electoral
     propaganda. It is simply not true. No one in his right mind who has
     been to Baghdad believes that story.

   [1]That's Allen Pizzey, CBS correspondent, talking about John McCain.
   He may be right. But why do we care? There are three possible reasons.
   You may have already thought about two of them. The one I am going to
   raise is probably so taken for granted that perhaps we have missed it.

   In fact, the problem isn't so much what reporters say. It's that
   [2]we're listening to reporters in the first place in any other
   capacity other than actually reporting the news.
