"We don't mean to be overly critical here, but we get tired of 
holier-than-thou mainstream media bellyaching about how only 
mainstream media can be trusted--when so much of the mainstream media 
game is granting control over coverage in exchange for access. Which 
certainly seems to have been the case here. "

It certainly turns the idea of cash for comment on its head! I 
thought the money was supposed to flow the other way....

Our truest response to the irrationality of the world is to paint or 
sing or write, for only in such response do we find truth.
