"Ce N'est Pas un Président" by Eric Alterman

"There is no single "truth" about who won Florida. [...] What we are 
seeing, therefore, is not a process of objective measurement but a 
contest of raw power. The Democrats use the courts and the law. The 
Republicans rely on rent-a-mobs, partisan hacks and power-hungry 
allies in the state legislature and Congress. Guess which side is 
bound to win? Our media coverage admits none of this, because it is 
committed to a fairy-tale version of truth and objectivity that 
separates "fact" and "opinion" but cannot fathom anything in between."
