Hammer Of The Blogs: ". . .Look, I am all for full disclosure when one of our virtual Thomas Paines is getting bankrolled by someone they're talking about. I think it would also be helpful to know about every possible conflict of interest the Legitimate Media might conceivably have, so that we can understand the level of conditioning that goes on when million-dollar anchors show up at the same society functions as the people they cover in their nightly readings of prepared news scripts.
I think the spirit of probity is worth crawling up everyone's ass with a microscope and reporting every polyp. Otherwise, you know, we might have to wonder why, say, Katie Couric feels the need to inflict the likes of Rash Limpballs or Crazy Columbine Dad on unsuspecting viewers.
Perhaps an ethics panel is in order. We should really get to the bottom of all this. For the children."
