And Again: Noted Scholar Tim Robbins Complains Media Isn't Calling For Bush Impeachment

You think this is all just silly. Well, of course it's silly. But the media actually give a shit about what Tim Robbins thinks. (And no, they don't care what YOU think.)

So this nonsense has had, is having, and will continue to have an effect on media behavior, pushing it even further to the left.

The left saw the media slipping from its control, and so they snapped back on its leash. And the media dutifully heeled.

Acclaimed American actor/director Tim Robbins blasted the US government's policy on terrorism -- and the US media's failure to examine it critically -- at a news conference in Athens promoting his stage version of George Orwell's "1984".

"We have right now a media that is willfully ignoring the high crimes and misdemeanours of the president of the United States," the star of Hollywood hits including "Mystic River" and "The Player" told reporters.

"Clinton lied about a blowjob, and got impeached by the media and Congress," Robbins said.

"(Bush) got us into (the Iraq) war based on lies that he knew were lies. ... His war has recruited more Al-Qaeda members than Osama bin Laden could ever have dreamed for ... yet no one in the media is calling for impeachment," he said.

That's Tim Robbins' notion of a truly fair-and-balanced media, one dedicated to the truth and facts only-- a media calling for the impeachment of a President. Not merely reporting on others' call for an impeachment; nor favorably treating those who are calling for such.

But openly agitating for it themselves.

So, when the hard left -- Morons Boehlert, Woolsey, Colbert, Maher, etc. -- claims the media is too "right wing," that's what they mean. "Too right wing" means "not actively lobbying for Bush's impeachment like the hardest-core of liberal poltical activists."

That's their idea of what an ideal media really should be, if it were brave and truthful enough.

Come to think of it, that's the media's idea of an ideal media, too. They just wish they could get away with that level of "truthiness" without being called nasty names by mean Republicans.

Thanks to Riehl World View, whose blog is, alas, down, or he'd have posted this himself.
