Matt Yglesias notes that Tom Brokaw goes bird watching with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and notes, “it is striking that you tend not to hear about this sort of coziness between the media and political elites when said media elites are busy posturing as a vast brigade of Woodward and Bernsteins eagerly digging to the truth.”

Makes you wonder.
