The mainstream media needs to find a new adjective to describe Joe Lieberman, for you cannot be called independent when you are a wholly owned pawn of the insurance industry. Just because he was rejected by the Democratic Party of his own state, and is therefore not in either of the two main parties; that does not make him independent. It makes him a “reject”, or perhaps a “former Democrat.” In truth he is just a corporate shill, but that involves more brains than the media typically shows, so “bi-partisan reject” is the most appropriate.
Independent should be reserved for those who really are independent.
