Number three on our list almost violates the criteria that I set up in the first piece I wrote for this series. I said then that denizens of the Old Media that are too much a “cartoon of journalism” would not be included on my list. Yet despite my dismissal of such Old Media clowns, in the number four slot on the list you’ll find Paul Krugman of The New York Times.
Given this week’s revelations about the JournoList, we now know Krugman either participated in a media conspiracy to get Obama elected or at least witnessed it first hand and did nothing to stop it. Consider this fact merely the latest insight into a man who’s done more consistently left-biased journalism than nearly anyone in America.
Krugman is indeed quite a cartoon of modern liberalism. He is hidebound and far from a new or even a very free thinker. But he makes the list simply because he is not only a Nobel Prize winner but is one of the leading media figures in America today. So, despite that he is not an original thinker and is steeped in liberal orthodoxy, his prominence argues for his inclusion here.
And besides that he is a true liberal loon.

Should Paul Krugman really be considered a journalist?
You have to wonder if these losers were willing co-conspirators or coerced into being part of the group.
Imagine despising America so much that you would willingly take part in destroying this country.
ABSOLUTELY. Now, before anyone jumps on me, I would humbly ask you whether you have ever met an unbiased “journalist”. I believe that none have ever existed. If you disagree, please name one that did not have an agenda.
