Indeed, sneering at their inferiors is a favorite liberal pass time. But in this case, note that they are actually making fun of people who eat hostess products, not the people who used to make them.
True. In fact, their obnoxious derision is directed at mid-America, more than anything... via the company itself and the type of people who bought the product
It is so telling, though. Think about it. Even with the many exasperating biases the media had twenty, thirty, forty years ago... could anyone imagine the newsmedia actually treating the story of the death of a near-historic, longstanding American business as nothing more than some big joke? A big joke, dripping with condescension?
I hope they all choke on their Tiramisu.
