EC>> "Media Matters," June 30. JB> He makes it too easy. Otto would rather play "Spiro" the purple dragon on his Wii than actually educate himself by reading a book. Notice also that Otto makes up silly names for Fox News, Drudge and any radio talk host he doesn't like, but then quotes Soro's boy Brock over at Media Matters as if the guy is preaching the gospel. And all his sources supposedly, according to Otto, back up their rants with real facts. When you check those "facts" they turn out to be nothing. Most of the articles he cites end up contradicting his assertions. Ed -- "A nation under a well regulated government, should permit none to remain uninstructed.
