Iowa & N.H.: The Biggest Loser
The results from the long-awaited, much-anticipated and way overhyped first two nominating contests of the 2008 presidential election are in, and the biggest loser appears to be the media. So quick to take Iowa as gospel, the chattering classes are hanging their heads in shame today and, in some cases, even admitting they were wrong.
The Gate hasn't exactly shied away from criticizing the media's frenzied, and sometimes irresponsible, coverage of the '08 race. But hats off to Slate for compiling a few choice election-night lowlights from cable news to illustrate just how bad things can get. Watch and let the laughter -- and the tears -- soothe your primary-fatigued soul.
