This piece is: A self-centered review of what I’ve read here daily for the past ten years.
Same Here! Shouting, cussing, and screaming at the idiots on TV. I have angrily invited numerous so-called "journalists" to the house for a good old-fashioned butt-kicking.
Yellow journalism has reached an all-time low. They're in the bank for Obama. Nearly all of them.
Might want to send it to some of the weasels on Fox as well, like Shep or O'Reilly.
Have you read this one called “Would the Last Honest Reporter Please Turn On the Lights?” Here’s the link: http://www.ldsmag.com/ideas/081017light.html
What I see as their game plan(if The Fraud wins-God forbid)
is a State supported media,like NPR, for the press and TV,
like the one that they have in Russia (Pravda style).
I think this explains the 100% backing of the news media behind the Unholy One. All their chips are riding on this
campaign. They have gone “all in”. When we win they will
be crushed and humiliated. Pray fervently and often.
Jesus Christ is our Head. Let Him lead.
“Even though he gets the bias he is far to kind to his fellow journalist that have jumped the shark and landed on the side of traitors and dictators.”
ditto to that

bump for later
I'd be happy to lend them a rope.
Baghdad Bob had a reputation for being a one-sided liar and a joke. But if he hasn’t lied, he’d be murdered.
Our journalists gave up their reputations without threat...
Thanks for the link.
Instead, it was Senator Christopher Dodd and Congressman Barney Frank, both Democrats, who denied that there were any problems, who refused Bush administration requests to set up a regulatory agency to watch over Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and who were still pushing for these agencies to go even further in promoting sub-prime mortgage loans almost up to the minute they failed.
The man who wrote this is a dem!!! And a journalist. Pigs are flying over a frozen pond in hell as I type. Knock me over with a feather... Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
OUTSTANDING article by Michael S. Malone. Thanks for posting.But even more important, we are also supposed to be taught that even though there is no such thing as pure, Platonic objectivity in reporting, we are to spend our careers struggling to approach that ideal as closely as possible. That means constantly challenging our own prejudices, systematically presenting opposing views, and never, ever burying stories that contradict our own world views or challenge people or institutions we admire. If we can’t achieve Olympian detachment, than at least we can recognize human frailty - especially in ourselves.
And thank you for the ping! Bookmarking - and a maximum-effort ping!IMHO the exact reason for the extreme tendentiousness of Big Journalism, and of the Democratic Party with which it is in symbiosis, is the fact that journalists do not write to be objective, they write from the assumption that they are objective. And that is sophistry.
ping to thread about media bias
IMHO, shareholders, those that have been victims of deliberately “careless” or distorted journalism (the Haditha Marines come to mind) may well have some kind of claim against the parent organizations for the consequences of “journalistic malpractice”..from failure of appropriate editorial oversight.

Thanks very much for bringing this excellent article to my attention! Your comment that journalists write from the assumption they are objective is very true. Great post!
Roger that.
Aw another great read - thank you again for the Ping.
I scrunch down when I read “journalist” these days for the words “story teller” keep surfacing.
I hope that criticism will soon pass as does a toothache.
You're right.
