And yet, they'll stand in long lines and vote to continue the idiocy.
I will never apologize for being an American.

Nothing turns the mainstream media against something like having their own ox gored. Once upon a time at the 1968 Democratic Convention when reporters got caught up in the "police riot" that Daley unleashed against anti-war protestors, the media suddenly discovered police brutality. I imagine the news crew are now bitching long and loud to their producers about the scourge of crime.
