Calvin Woodward, Endangered Species


Yikes, two days in a row now, the AP's Calvin Woodward (any relation to Woodward and Bernstein? or Calvin and Hobbs?) has come out with articles questioning Democratic dogma. First he puts the blame for the deficit where it belongs. Then he questions Obama's "jobs created" claims. (course, now the administration is claiming they are jobs "created or saved" -- much harder to dispute)

Soooo, good news! The system can't go too far wrong as long as we've got feedback.Talk of semi-secret breakfasts for the faithful media should send chills up your spine, but having even a fraction of herd in revolt is a good sign. The danger was that the entire mainstream media could be co-opted: this would have been a blank check for the administration, and probable disaster for the country.

Course, Calvin Woodward is just one guy. And efforts to marginalize him are certainly in the works. But with Fox News beating the pants off the competition, and this little inroad into AP; I'd say it's looking like a good day.
