Quotable quote from the article:
According to David Brock, author of "The Right Wing Noise Machine" and CEO of Media Matters for America, a progressive, not-for-profit advocacy group, the White House's ultimate aim is to raise doubts about the information independent journalists produce. "Their explicit goal is to get us to the point where there are blue [state] facts and red [state] facts," Brock says.
I suspect that this tactic has already claimed many vicitms. A friend of mine, a staunch Bush supporter, had this reply when I questioned her on the fact that Bush proudly doesn't read any newspapers: he shouldn't becuase the press is so hopelessly biased, he wouldn't learn anything of import. D'oh! I think I've linked to this before, but once again I refer you to the excellent PIPA investigation of the diparate realities of Bush and Kerry supporters. (Fair warning: the link points directly to a pdf.)
