#1 "Once the herd starts moving in one direction, it's very hard to turn it, even slightly," Rather said. "Nationally, the herd has grown tremendously."

This from the Hindmost himself.

"I think just about everything is over-covered these days," said Brokaw, who anchors the "NBC Nightly News." "The spectrum is so crowded. With all the cable networks, it begins to have a 'video wall' feeling to it."

Why didn't we hear quotes like this during the Abu Ghraib circle jerk?

#2 I know your question was rhetorical, Robert, but I'll answer it anyway: Because it didn't serve the leftist media's main purpose, which is to bring about the defeat of America, and to turn it into another whiney Europe.

Of course, neither does coverage reminding people of Reagan and his beliefs and accomplishments.

#4 "Once the herd starts moving in one direction, it's very hard to turn it, even slightly,"

Gee Dan does that mean you are going to cover something other than Abu Grahib? He proably doesn't think that is follwoing the herd on that.
