What does it tell us about Joe Klein
by sphealey

Amazing. How about the question, "What does Primary Colors tell us about Joe Klein?" - and by extension the national news media? Is there any connection between Klein (a) writing a novel about a subject he was covering at the time that was based on inside dirt he had picked up during his assignment (b) publishing it anonymously (c) lying about it (d) going nuclear on anyone who hinted he might be lying (e) once found out, pretending it was of no consequence (f) /continuing/ to cover the same people and topic right through to the current day?

Does that tell us anything about the traditional media - including quite a bit about how they plan to control, I mean cover the 2008 election? I would say it does.
