An interesting quote...

Submitted by Tschida on Wed, 10/03/2007 - 8:29am.

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant to edit newspapers.
In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly, I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I will, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials - after the fact."

Robert E. Lee, 1863

Now newspapers support the generals even after they are fired by the administration for giving good advice.

Why do you think that is?

One of the great non sequiturs of the left is that, if the free market doesn't work perfectly, then it doesn't work at all-- and the government should step in.
