Look what they're saying in the papers....
Damn, I can hardly believe my eyes today. That this editorial would show up in a Dayton newspaper - Dayton not really being a bastion of liberalism - is hope that the press has shaken off the chains that The Thug Cabal installed so long ago.
You can be certain that President Gore would be excoriated daily for the colossal waste of taxpayers' dollars and the mounting casualties of our young American men and women. Limbaugh and his like would be ripping the president's liver out over the air. They would be demanding to know the "truth" about his assumptions of weapons of mass destruction. By now they likely would have already called for his impeachment. So why aren't these red-white-and-blue radio patriots worried about the troops and the dollars and the weapons of mass destruction now? Because the guy in the White House is one of their own, of course.
I mention this not to criticize American policy in Iraq nor to take sides in the healthy debate about our continuing presence there.
But as citizens trying to make up our minds about these things, it is important that we have reliable sources of information upon which to base our decisions.
The silence on talk radio speaks volumes about its credibility.
Replies: somebody speaks up.

Not exactly what I'd call a seismic shift in the politcal tectonic plates of the Heartland. I suppose even an inch is progress but, Mr. Blah, let's not pop the champagne corks quite yet.
