Why can't journalists counterpunch like this?

The video is a bit long, and not all on point - but hear it out.


First off - Home-fricking-run.

Second - Yeah, why not? I mean, sure no network anchor could openly mock a member of the administration to their face - but the foundation of this satire is factual. The administration that claims to support the troops seems to get all wobbly once they start writing checks for something that isn't a new weapon system or a no-bid contract.

Why is it left to satirists to expose the selective memory of those in power?
