Why are you surprised? What do you think has changed to make them different? Stephanopolous still thinks that flag pin questions to democrats is an important question, whereas questions about lobbyists running McCain's campaign would be frivolous.
They are republican sock puppets with a spot light. Hell, they are probably being paid by the administration and the republicans. We know that they were paying ex-generals. Would "journalists" and "reporters" have more scruples than those generals. We even know that they were paying "some journalists". Why not all????
Don't be surprised that the media continues to do what it has done now since Ronald Reagan was President. That is like being surprised by gravity. Find another way to combat the state run propaganda machine. Because this isn't going to change. They are wholly owned.
TimesOnline:
The White House now claims that President Bush's infamous remarks to the Israeli Knesset yesterday, likening those who propose direct talks with Iran and Islamist terrorist groups to the appeasers of Nazi Germany, were addressed not at Barack Obama but at Jimmy Carter.
This would be plausible, on its face, if it weren't for the fact that it's taken them a whole day to come up with it. President Bush may not be the world's most coherent speaker, but it's natural to be suspicious when it takes someone more than a day to figure out what he was talking about.

that is teh good
How sad, how ugly and how American.
Every time I see folks like Steph and Wolf Blitzer and, well, pretty much every other cue-card-reading game-show host that fronts for the news (and I avoid them like the plague) I wonder what their off-screen jobs are like. Daily briefings, ratings surveys, hair-and-makeup, but never, you can be certain, a single moment of journalism. You think Steph ever checks in to this site to find out what's going on beyond the punditry sphere? Not on your life. They're not journalists. They're mouthpieces, supported by a pyramid of factors to which journalistic ethics are far, far removed.
Little Stephy knows who butters his bread and what his role is, and it's not "seeker of truth".
cue-card-reading game-show host
You nailed it. They may as well have Alex Trebek hosting.
Look at the background of these guys - Stephy was a Clinton political operative, Pumpkinhead was a GE PR mouthpiece. They're trained to push a propaganda line.
the news media, aware that it is being used as toilet paper for this white house, continues to carry their water.
They have their orders from their corporate masters and have mentality of prisoners. Expecting respect and consideration, or retailiating for disrespect, or taking a skeptical and challenging tone, is not an option. They are abused and bullied by the White House the same as they are abused and bullied by their corporate bosses, and they can like it or go find a more respectable profession, like prostitution.
News divisions are being moved into the entertainment division to place businessmen in management and supervisory positions over news persons. and to destroy the sense of professionalism in reporters, investigators and editors by making it clear to them that they are not a professional staff with any other agenda than supporting the business.

I wonder how he likes working in the same milieu with Stephie now...or are they just birds of a feather?
Critics Raise Questions About Credibility Of U.S. Role In Middle East
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/05/17/world...
1.) The lad he doth protest too much
2.) I'm reminded of the famous Shakespearean phrase 'me thinkest the lady protests too much.
3.) Like that lady in Shakespeare's Hamlet, rookie United States Senator and current Democrat frontrunner Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. and his fellow leftists "doth protest too much, methinks."
4.) They Doth Protest Too Much
5.) It may also be the Associated Press' way of suggesting, as Hamlet's mama did in Act 3, Scene 2 "The [young Senator] doth protest too much, methinks."
6.) Did Obama, the near-certain Democratic Party nominee for president, "protest too much" in complaining about Bush's speech to Israel's Knesset on Thursday?
...The play's the thing wherein I'll refer to no one in particular.
On that note, though, can we all please put the terms "water-carriers," "under the bus," "kool-aid drinkers," and all the variations on "rethuglicans" to rest for awhile. They're just talking points gone viral, and don't advance our debate at all. (Not that that last part is directed at you, Andrew.) Thanks again for the great research.
"What the president said at the Knesset made us angry, and to be honest, we don't accept it," Mr Abbas said.

But even worse than George repeating this crap, we had Wolf Blitzer allowing republicans to repeat this crap on his program. It directly contradicts the reporting of his own network. So if you ever wondered whether a network would stand behind their own reporting or republican talking points, it is clear that they have chosen the latter. How sad, but unsurprising.
