GOP candidates stiff mainstream press
Another Republican, Kentucky Senate candidate Rand Paul, told tea party activists they have to "control the message" -- through advertising -- to combat efforts "to paint us as something we're not," because "we're not going to get a lot of help from the newspapers." Both seem to think the media's primary role should be to help them -- raise money, carry a message -- rather than hold them accountable.
Nicolle Wallace, the former Bush White House communications director, says candidates such as Angle and Paul have no need "to have a relationship with the national media. . . . They're probably right in feeling the media haven't figured out how to cover the tea party movement with objectivity and fairness." But she said candidates must be "confident enough in the substance of their platform" to speak to local reporters.

Good
most of the mainstream media are scum. It's one thing to do a job, it's another to lie when you can plainly see the damage being done to your country by these criminals. At least Helen Thomas had some balls..for what that was worth.
Just one last kick in the nuts, then a final deathblow
