"Journalism" worldwide is effin' pathetic.

I've noticed that for the past 10-15 years, you could ID a lefty "media critic," because he would complain about "corporatization" and "MBAs running the newsroom," but say nothing about the Stalinism that is the real problem. (I didn't notice at the time, only in retrospect. I have books from the time. Note, too, the "discovery" that the news is a business, along with the fairy tale that it didn't used to be that way. The truth is, that by and large, newspapers were more profitable 80 years ago, than they are today. In New York, at least.)

Now, the lefties (e.g., Eric Alterman) have graduated to claiming that the media is dominated by "conservative" bias. The truth is, that without their token conservative pundits, many rags would have gone under years ago. Meanwhile, circulation keeps going down for the big socialist rags, but the leftists refuse to get the message. Of course, these are the same characters who insist that only a racist would say that the Jayson Blair case had anything to do with race! I kid you not.
