The Media

'An Ethical Firestorm!'

Crap your pants!

Let there be no doubt that Matt Drudge is the world's biggest douchebag. His gigantic screamer headline leads us to this ridiculousness, written by Drudge himself:

On the night of June 24, the media and government become one, when ABC turns its programming over to President Obama and White House officials to push government run health care -- a move that has ignited an ethical firestorm!

Ethical firestorm? How is broadcasting from the White House an ethical firestorm? Even someone as thick as Drudge should know that every major press agency has a reporter INSIDE the White House every day reporting the, you know, news. Many of them -- GASP! Siren Light Animated GIF!!!! -- report live from inside the West Wing press room or on the front lawn.

By the way, remember when Fox News Channel's resident Monchichi Brett Baier did a whole thing from "inside the White House"?

O'Reilly, too. And then there were all of those Bush White House press releases that FOX News Channel aired verbatim.

But since Drudge is making a big pee-pee dance about this, expect all of the press to soon follow -- despite reality.

UPDATE: Does Michelle Malkin realize how stupid she sounds when she writes something like this?

I call it government-controlled stenography.

A newscast from the White House -- something that's been done a gazillion times -- is government-controlled stenography? No, no. This is. This too. And this.

By the way, since when has ABC ever been a sympathetic network for Democrats?
