Punditland/Ponyland

Atrios:

Magical thinking has long pervaded this entire enterprise, and the pundits who
supported this whole thing long ago decided that they could evade responsibility
for their role in this by continuing to come up new Pony Plans. They can't come
to grips with the fact that this whole enterprise is doomed - and, in fact, has
long been doomed - and they can't come to grips with the fact that no matter
what they say George Bush is the decider.


Bingo. Hammer is to Atrios as nail is to reality. The media has engaged in a - sometimes more than not - willful denial of reality and shirking of their own responsibilities for the past six years, and they will never own up to it.
