Ha ha ha
MSNBC (with Cameron Hall) had Ceci Connolly on as a talking head ‘expert’ on the “public option” health care, without of course identifying her conflicts of interest.

And then Dr. Nancy had her on again with another WaPo reporter. Apparently something in the WaPo today (Public option gains support; CLEAR MAJORITY NOW BACKS PLAN. Americans still divided on overall packages, by Dan Balz and Jon Cohen.)

She’s talking a “modified” public option.

Gawker has the right take on this:

Politico got the full letter between Pelton and Brauchli in which Brauchli claimed that he knew the records would be off the record, but not that kind of off the record. You know, the kind where we don't know who said what but we can still know who said it, which is a very specific kind of off the record called the "Chatham House Rule," which you've never heard of because you don't know bullshit journalism technicality lingo.

Marcus Brauchli: Actually, I will take this question, because it comes with a silly premise that needs knocking down.

… Finally, yes, I realize that the salon dinner episode was embarrassing and damaging to our credibility, but I would say to you: judge us by our journalism.

Well, that settles that question.

You need to get that, in middle America, we only have a handful of places to turn to ever have a believable truth…you were one.

On a related note, the NYT is planning cutbacks in the newsroom.

Like many other rags, the Wapo and NYT are dying.
Only, maybe faster than other rags.

On the other hand, I’ve got a killer recipe for Cream Of Broccoli Soup.

One is heavy on cream and butter, the other is a light weight version and MUCH lower cal.

It’s winter, time for hearty soups, and creamed soups fit the bill!!!

Brauchli, however, is toast, and I don’t mean crostini. As is his rag.

Buh by. Don’t bug us no mo.

Mz. Wheeler, thanks for the post and way to point up FAIL when ya see it!!
