New World Man adds his opinion to the rush to point fingers about the West Virginia mining tragedy, and writes what any sensible, level headed person was thinking. Unlike the idiots who rushed to blame George W. Bush or the 'dreaded' MSM.
Blaming The Media for contributing to the tragedy of the Sago mine seems as asinine to me as blaming President Bush. But let me deal with the latter first. What kind of vacuum heart do you have to be to wake up in the morning, find out 12 miners are dead, and rush to your blog to rant about how the blood is on the President's hands?
But this Big Media takes a facer business is stupid. The Media didn't tell those families most of the miners had survived, The Media heard it from the same people the families did. Why, "if bloggers had made these kinds of mistakes, Big-Media folks would be pointing them out as evidence that the blogosphere can't be trusted." Well, they did, when Wonkette was publishing exit poll data and all those now-Pajamas Media blogs were breathlessly telling us the guy who blew himself up outside the Oklahoma football game was a jihadist.[...]
Are you that interested in people paying attention to you that you can't fathom not being among the first to blame somebody for something?
