WHAT LIBERAL MEDIA?

Atrios argues conclusivly that the CBS scandal is proof that there is no goddamn liberal media."

Money quote:
One botched news story at CBS, in which the substances was entirely true but the window dressing was not authenticated, and multiple people lose their jobs, and it becomes the biggest media story of the year. Why do we know or care? ...the worst Rather has been accused of by sensible people is letting partisanship cloud his judgment. Accepting that as true just for sake of argument, it's still a far less egregious sin than most of the Whitewater-era ***** which has never been acknowledgeda s *****by the liberal media, even though unlike the Rather incident, much of that ***** was clearly deliberately manufactured by the producers and reporters.
