A prophecy.

During a longer piece on how the press is acting during the Bush administration, Digby makes a prophecy about what we will see if the democrats take power.

And I hereby fearlessly predict that what you will see if the Democrats gain control of the government in 2008 will be a revival of 90's style "crusading" journalism in which the press will take every ginned up scandal the Republicans come up with and run with them like they are the reincarnation of Edward R. Murrow, thus proving in their own minds that they aren't servants of power after all. And they will say it's what we wanted during the Bush years and now we are complaining which proves we are partisan and they aren't.



Sadly, barring some sort of major shift, this is what will happen.
