Dueling Banjos


Kate (Small Dead Animals) points us to a Washington Post mea culpa on media bias. Of course, it fails to address the ommissions, the distortions and the selective implications of semantics. She's quite right that it is indeed a suicide note...for the writer.

In the theme of the 1972 feel-good romp "Deliverance"...it's time for a dueling banjo.

If the Washington Post has just issued a suicide note...Reuters has issued the last act of defiance (picture a lowly little mouse with nowhere to run giving the finger to a talon leading swoop of a Bald Eagle). Jim Treacher did the pointing on that Reuters garbage.
