Now that is timely reporting
 
It doesn't matter what your political persuasion is, you have to admit that when the print media is reporting on events that haven't even happened yet they might be stretching the idea of journalistic credibility a bit far.

Lewis Lapham was Nostrodamas in a previous life. :hafucking
Probably in many cases the press is familiar enough with the newsmakers and their agendas to accurately write their stories in advance. BUT, they still shouldn't do it because if it's prewritten they're not going to pay attention. :mad:

See...this is a good reason why I get my news from a bunch of sources. Then I see what each source says, filter out what smells like spin and career/business motivation and make a decision about what's left. News outlets have come a long long way from being a central point for people to know what's going on in their world to being a central point for people to be led about their world, regardless of what's going on.
