MEDIA WATCHDOG MY ASS

Booman catches this outrageous exchange:

KURTZ: I think the argument that I've heard Olbermann make in the past about Fox News -- it's not an argument that I embrace -- is that, because it poses as a news organization and puts out dangerous misinformation --
BECK: But that's what he's doing!
KURTZ: -- and is -- is a cheerleader for the Bush administration, that it's misinforming our society. But you know what?
BECK: Howard --
KURTZ: They're entitled to do that.


Now, who is Mistah Kurtz? Although he sounds like it, he's not really a wingnut radio gasbag, he's a frigging media critic:

Howard Kurtz is the host of the weekly CNN program Reliable Sources, which turns a critical lens on the media. Kurtz leads the scrutinizing of the media's fairness and objectivity by questioning journalists of top news organizations, including those at CNN.
Kurtz is the media reporter for The Washington Post and writes a regular column called Media Notes.
