I'm getting perverse pleasure in the morning when I browse the Daily Caller to see what new hideous revelation Tucker Carlson publishes about beltway journalists who for too long have masked their biases under the pretense that they were professional and objective. The lefty minions working for NPR, Newsweak, and the Washington Post are slowly and deservedly swinging in the wind.
The JournaList scandal is the death knell of these organizations. From this point on they will be seen for what they are: biased rags that belong in the same aisle as "The Nation" and "Mother Jones".
The National Enquirer has more street creds.
Today's howler involves comments about Keith Olbermann, for whom even many lefties find pompous and reeking of misogyny. However at the end of the day, you get this kind of sentiment.
"Even if all Olbermann and Maddow are doing is mirroring Hannity and O’Reilly from the other side (which is utterly preposterous, by the way), that’s a far better situation than before they came along. It’s empowering to hear that your views are legitimate, that they are part of the national conversation."
So MSNBC's bias is "empowering" and "legitimate", but the mirror network, Fox,needs to be shut down.
This coming from First Amendment stalwarts.
