It is the great misfortune of today's MSM that they were raised on examples of Walter Cronkite/Robert Woodward/Bob Herbert's left-wing abilities to lie and get away with it, but now they're stuck in a new media world.

It's not supposed to be like that, they're supposed to the good guys, and, like, somehow the script got really screwed up.

They need to go to jail. There is nothing in the Constitution that says a reporter is above the law.

I doubt if one in a hundred people even know who Adolphe Menjou was.

Dear, oh dear! Nicholas Kristof, a New York Times columnist, laments, “the climate for freedom of the press in the United States feels more ominous than it has for decades.”

Satements like this this just make me sick! Freedom of the press in America has never been stronger! (or freer)

And speaking of Uncle Joe, while FDR was president there was a very significant infiltration of the government by Soviet agents. A vast propaganda campaign by journalists like I.F. Stone—an idol of that other arch-phony Christopher Hitchens—managed to discredit a great American like Sen. Joe McCarthy and turn him into a figure of ridicule and hate.

That arch-phony Robert Kennedy Jr. is almost as hysterical as Maureen Dowd because our voices are being heard for a change. Kennedy’s rationale reminds me of that of Karagiozis, a Greek clown who tells his business partner, “All I have is mine, and all you have is mine also ...” Kennedy claims that conservatives rule the airwaves and the media. It’s as valid a claim as when he pleaded innocent to heroin possession while smacked out on his back during a commercial flight.


Excellent, he nails both of these clowns to the wall. I knew RFK Jr. had a mental problem, heroin explains it.

"...conservatism is finally getting a fair hearing by the American people."

It had to happen...and if journalists are SOOO smart, if they are so sure of their innocence then why are they not prepared to defend themselves properly against charges of bias?

They are less and less credible all the time, (including TV news which has become all but unwatchable) and it continues to escape their notice that US public officials are freely and fairly elected persons whose selection reflects the will and sentiment of the majority. If this basic observation would ever gain a place in their reckoning of things, it would be a giant step in the direction towards unbiased journalism. I am not optimistic.

The New York Times leads the way. Trying to play God for much too long has left the paper of record believed by only 21 percent of its readers according to Pew research.

Can this be true? Not only is their audience shrinking, but the overwhelming majority of those that do bother to buy the rag don't believe what they read. Why buy the paper then? It's all old news by the time it's come off the press.
