Too generous by half
PJS, is too trusting of the media. NPR and PBS may be better than the complete drivel of the networks and cable TV but this is not much of a compliment. The self-satisfaction of the 'Beltway' media (which Ifill cynically pretends doesn't exist) is obscene with rote lines trotted out in self -defense, "I get attacked from both sides so I must be doing something right", "We cover more than we miss", "It's not our fault, we merely report the news ".etc
BTW the source of the Condi/shoe-shopping reference can be found here;

PJS I'd suggest you become a regular reader of Somerby at http://www.dailyhowler.com as well as Glenn Greenwald http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald to gain a fuller understanding of the machinations of our media.
