Symphony of Sycophants

April 30th, 2007 at 7:58 pm by Smantix

And it’s a Schermerhorn of a good time as the city’s smallest fiddles resin their bows.

Like yanking doughnuts away from a diabetic, the left side of our backwater neck of the hickosphere fell on bended gingham knee at the possibility that the filthy Big Media lucre, that’s helped to fuel a thousand cyber-Stalinists, maybe, possibly, not-for-sure but I’m shittin’ my pants at the thought of it, might be drying up.

The news that Local Activist/President/GM of ABC, who opted to use an evil, conservative corporation’s money to fund two exclusively Soviet websites to shout down the right-leaning free media, was being sent on a permanent vacation going to leave to spend more time with the ‘fam has sent ripples from the wine glasses of Germantown all the way to the wine glasses of Woodland Street (read: 3 miles).

Hell, even the Weather Man got in on it. (see “Partly Cloudy” with a chance of Chomsky)

This is the definition of Heart-ache ™, people.

Imagine an even playing field again.

Remember the even playing field?

The one where we only had to compete against The Nashville Scene, The Tennessean, The Memphis Commercial-Appeal, The Knoxville News-Sentinel, and every major television and radio network?

Heart-ache.
