Fun with media

Instapundit yesterday:

Yeah. With all the resources [the media] threw at this story (Katrina), they blew it, big time. It does make you doubt their coverage from Iraq, and, well, everywhere else.

So why not apply it to this article from the New York Times?

"There are a lot more people - men, women and minorities - that are more qualified, in my opinion, by their experience than she is," Senator Trent Lott, Republican of Mississippi, told MSNBC on Wednesday. "Right now, I'm not satisfied with what I know. I'm not comfortable with the nomination, so we'll just have to work through the process."

Senator George Allen, Republican of Virginia, considered a potential presidential candidate, said that "people who I have a great deal of admiration for" had said they were "disappointed or deflated" by the choice.

"I want to be assured that she is not going to be another Souter," Mr. Allen said, referring to Justice David H. Souter, a George H. W. Bush appointee who has upheld abortion rights and other liberal precedents. "I understand the president knows her well, but I don't."

Because the media failed us reporting on Katrina, there's no way I can believe that conservative Republicans question the appointment of Harriet Miers for Supreme Court. Clearly the media is reporting statement's made from people as fact, just like they did with other reports during Katrina. No way Bush has let his base down. Right?

Com'n media, you're going to make the conservatives cry, here. Please tell then it's all a Katrina like fable. For their sake?
