The Main Stream Media
I have long found it hard to credit that the “Main Stream Media” (MSM) is biased towards lefties. This is the media, after all, which gleefully repeated lie after lie after lie about Al Gore during the 2000 Presidential race. It is the same Media which hounded Clinton and couldn’t get the most basic facts of his healthcare proposal strait (polls showed that the public’s knowledge about the program actually declined after months of debate on the subject!)...
And so I point out this article on what the “MSM” is all about. The simple answer is that our political media has all the intellectual rigor and self-honesty as their colleagues covering the Oscars. The media is catty and thinks of that cattiness as real, honest-to-the-0gods investigative reporting. Some day, perhaps, we will see a return to political coverage that emphasizes challenges over chat, actions over asininities; the quality of a Senator’s proposal over the quantity of a Senator’s matrimony. Until that day comes, speaking of a monolithically Marxist media is absurd...
