Jaundiced, journalistically

So we hear this week President Bush is taking delight in the spread of the "alternative press" (read conservatives on the Internet, in talk radio, in print and at Fox) and the gentle detumesence of "mainstream media" (read liberal media, or more precisely Democratic media). I join him in his satisfaction. I have spent much of my life with journalists, beginning in competitive swimming and moving on to politics and culture. Usually, even in covering sports, the journalists have been liberal Democrats. I recall a Sports Illustrated writer who used to come out to Indiana to cover my world champion teammates on the Indiana University swimming team. He was a very agreeable fellow, but two decades later he ended up as campaign press secretary during Al Gore's first run for the White House. Well, that is the way things have been in American journalism.

"...something off-putting about them."

I sense this in liberals in general, not just journalists.

Dems live in a parallel universe of their own creation. They never let the real world intrude.

They are losing slowly but surely and it is a painful death for them. Pity-NOT!!

We have to count on the Internet.
Where else would you see photos like these:

Dan Rather would still be getting away with his frauds.
Newsweak wanted to kill the Monica story...
...etc.

Never trust someone who spends a lot of time talking about how ethical he is.
