They Report, They Decide

Wonkette says a friend of hers got an email from MSNBC seeking recommendations for a talk-show guest:

Hi. [name deleted] here, booker-researcher at MSNBC. We are looking for someone (probably not at [publication deleted] but perhaps you know someone somewhere. . . ) who is anti-Martha Stewart, from an economic and social perspective. That she is a "cancer" on our nation and that her ressurection makes lying and deception seem validated and "okay" somehow. I'm wondering if you might have any guests that you could suggest. That would be great. Anyone who could approach the story from a social commentary perspective. Thanks for whatever help you can extend.
All my best, [Booker]

Another reason to complete Henry Copeland's Blog readers' survey. Tell 'um you don't read the mainstream media. And, of course, include this blog in your favorites (Question 15) and as the referring blog (Question 16).
