I have an ex who had a bumper sticker that said, “if you’re not outraged you’re not paying attention.” Well, I see a lot of people around who aren’t outraged with the current scandals and dirty dealings of the Bush administration. For those folks I offer this article in Der Spiegel; a complete blow by blow of the whole Plamegate mess from day one.
And yes, I do think it’s sad that I have to turn to Germany or the UK to get any good news or analysis about my own country’s politics. But when the right wing owns the media it’s bound to have a chilling effect on the truth.
