Calling a Spade a Shovel

Some things in life are inherently funny. Infighting and garment rending are two such hilarious phenomena.
Now comes the Editor the National Enquirer to call bullshit on the ongoing cavalcade of hypocrisy and navel gazing in the MSM. It’s about time. I particularly love this part:
Meanwhile the New York Times was rebuked by its own ombudsman who strongly concluded the paper blew it by not putting enough effort into reporting the (Edwards) story. Yet, Bill Keller, the Paper of Record’s editor, was defiant and still approached the situation with a great sense of ennui, defending his inaction by saying the “hold-your-nose quality about The Enquirer” contributed to the lack of interest by The Times. Others simply relied on standard Elvis-UFO-Aliens-Bigfoot jokes to dismiss the Enquirer’s success in light of their failure.
…When two Georgia men claimed to have found Bigfoot and held a press conference to display the remains, the event was ignored by the Enquirer. Bill Keller’s New York Times ran a straight-faced account, complete with photograph, in the A section.
All the news that’s fit to print? Clueless indeed.
Thank the Lord for David Perel. Go get ‘em.
