Glynnis MacNicol of Mediate notes the New York Time's editor Bill Keller sudden fascination with all the news that's fit to print--not just the part of the news that helps Democrats feel good about themselves. Well, this will be a real education:
The paper of record will probably not report the flaming ignorance of their own reporter, Stephen Farrell, but the British press is less inclined to cover for him. Remember the NYT reporter who got abducted and subsequently rescued? Remember how good the NYT was with keeping that secret, you know a secret that mattered when lives were at stake?
As a way into liberal prominence goes, nothing quite beats screwing literally, or metaphorically, a conservative to achieve fame. Levi Johnson has done both. He is, literally, a fame whore.
Contrary to the insistence of Pentagon officials this week that they are not rating the work of reporters covering U.S. forces in Afghanistan, Stars and Stripes has obtained documents that prove that reporters’ coverage is being graded as “positive,” “neutral” or “negative.”
Inglourious Bastards might be Quentin Tarantino's best movie so far. As expected, it's full of gruesome violence, gratuitous splattering blood, and revenge fantasies. For the subject, it's all to the good: Nazis die.
Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center, Townhall, and Newsbusters joined me to discuss the media's bias--both covert and overt--and how it shapes public opinion. It does work. The media does shape opinion, even though most news organizations have moved to a British model of journalism. The difference is that a Brit journalist will admit his bias, whereas an American journalist likes to view himself as objective. His delusion makes him more dangerous.
Wow, Washington, D.C. is filled with preening, sanctimonious a-holes. Drunk on their own intellectualism and stunned into self-reflective absorption, the only thing that matters to this collective Narcissus is vainglory. This assessment includes conservatives and Republicans, by the way.
