A very nice worded piece.

Paul Greenberg is one of the few newsmen in this country with integrity. For all of Bill Clinton's years as Governor of Arkansas, and his eight years as president, Paul Greenberg of Little Rock stayed on his case. Unfortunately, few people listened.

Greenberg is no conservative, but he is a man of principle.

The First Amendment, as it was intended, protects the right of a biased media. It protects the Left as it protects Free Republic.

Like an oil slick over the news, L.M.B. permeates American journalism's elite.

Great imagery. LMB is the pollution of the body politic.

Here's my take on MSM bias. Each election cycle they become more outrageous than the previous one. Their bias has gone from not so subtle to over the top obvious but I believe there is a reason for this - to desensitize their opponents.

It's like any other issue that initially shocked the nation. Like gang shootings, government corruption, or school ground shootings, after awhile people tend to become desensitized from the initial shock of the incidents and over time, what at first caused a deep sense of horror, eventually leads to a certain degree of acceptance. This lessens the impact on people's emotions.

I see a similar pattern relating to MSM bias although I am unsure as to how this will affect the future of it. My concern is that people may become so conditioned by it that they will become complacent thus allowing them to get away with even more. My hope is that the internet and other alternative media will one day render them obsolete.

I take the precaution, on hearing the first groaner on an NPR newscast, of switching to the classical music station. I owe Linda Wertheimer alone a debt of immense gratitude for guiding me to some of the most beautiful symphonies in the Western canon.
