I have a buddy who says that eventually the media will come around, but I don’t think they will.

The MSM remind me of some of those chase scenes on shows like “COPS”, where the hoods start out with a stolen and fully loaded Range Rover, then smash it up driving into everything on the road, accelerate to open roads, blowing the tires and the jackasses still keep pounding the gas peddle, even when they are down to the sparking rims of all 4 tires.

When the car drives no further the hood get out and they all have that same stupid face when they look at the cop. It’s classic!

That’s the NYT and the mainstream media.

I enoyed your comparison very much.

Actually, they can't. Their business model requires that the public buy assumption that journalism is objective - but it also requires that journalism function as a special interest which needs, and actually manufactures, bad news. And the public is beginning to notice . . .
