Fox plays Anchorman

Newsweek has picked up on evidence that Karl Rove was behind the retaliatory outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame. Try as they might, the wingnuts can't use the old "Newsweek got it wrong" defense on this one (not that they could on the Koran desecration story either) . As for Fox? They've got better news to report--apparently, a panda giving birth in a DC zoo is more important than evidence that the most powerful unelected official in the U.S. committed a federal offense. FoxNews--only you could make Ron Burgundy look like a journalist. How about a nice panda punch in your puss?

Oh, and the White House Press Corps? Sack up and pitch Scotty a curveball. Russell Mokhiber and Helen Thomas are the only ones that would ask any tough questions. But Christ, someone's got to question the puppetmaster's integrity.
