The story of Lerner's emails being lost because her computer crashed is a remarkably absurd lie, so ludicrous it's brazen in its willful implication of lawlessness since no one would tell such a ridiculous lie so easy to prove false unless, one, they had something really bad to hide and, two, utter contempt for those seeking to find it. I mean even a remotely intelligent high school student probably knows that emails are stored on servers that are backed up to other servers and so the only way to lose emails is if there's a catastrophic system meltdown and then there'd be plenty of evidence of such a thing happening - meaning, you can't tell a lie about it happening without that lie being easily exposed. So this Lerner business is absolutely absurd and demonstrates an astounding contempt for the law and accountability in governance.
But the really astounding thing about all this is that as far as I know the NY Times has yet to report on the story. I'll beat this dead horse again, but such profound media bias will destroy your democracy because it will destroy the legitimacy of your democracy leaving behind a corrupt bureaucracy that serves only those who foolishly share in its delusions and eventually not even them - like Kafka's castle, it will exist merely to serve the absurd incoherence and increasing dysfunction of its dark self.
To me, the willingness with which the media has allowed itself to be corrupted in service of Obama is the most disturbing thing about the Obama presidency - and there's one hell of lot of stuff there to be disturbed about - way I see it, this corruption in essence amounts to a denial of free speech, a subversion of the whole meaning and import of the first amendment, and that amounts to an existential threat to the republic. There's a very good reason why the first amendment is the first amendment - ya can't have a democracy without it.
