DC MEDIA & WHITE HOUSE: more inbred than a 7-toed Kentucky lot lizard.

As someone who has been watching the media closely for twenty-years, I can tell you that even without all this incest, the media would still be guarding Obama's palace just as aggressively as it does now. Family relations have nothing to do with it.

Our media would be just as corrupt, just as unwilling to dig into scandals, just as obsessed with The War On The WomanParts and gay marriage; just as dishonest, partisan, and lazy were no one in any way related to top officials within the Obama administration.

These relations are not the cause of the media's corruption; they are a symptom of it.

Sad, but undoubtedly true. They are part and parcel of the regulatory state.
