Re: That's particularly insidious.
I didn't say it was the harbinger of the Fall of Civilization, or even anything really serious. It's just another small and amusing example of how the media dances to the DNC tune. Stuff that shows up on the DNC site tends to flow out to the media and start appearing in "original" stories and opinion columns. Usual route is that the New York Times picks it up, and suddenly it's everywhere. Makes you wonder if there are any real reporters left out there, or if the journalists do nothing any more except transcribe political press releases.
