This is a classic analysis from one who has experienced the subject.
Save, treasure, and use.

not out of malice toward the right Teddy Roosevelt said, "it is not the critic who counts," but journalism is nothing but criticism. "The man who is actually in the arena" tries to win credit by running businesses or the military or the police; journalists simply second guess to deny them their due. And they give positive labels ("progressive" or "liberal" or "moderate") to politicians and activists who agree with (are part of) the critic's agenda. It is not necessary to have a tin foil hat to discern that journalism does have an animus against the right. They are natural antagoinists.

Quoting Tony Snow.
In fact, the average Joe is far less susceptible to shabby fads than the PC police, who have become so ubiquitous and whose ministrations have become so absurd that even my elementary -school children have been making fun of them.....
It would be nice to hear Tony subbing for Rush Limbaugh- that is when Rush takes the odd afternoon off.

There´s an old boast in the business that the job of a journalist is to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. The thing is, we never realized that we were becoming The Comfortable with good pay, job security, and access to movers and shakers all around the world. We need to cast off our coziness venture away from safe stories and presumptions and into the wilderness of new topics, new ideas and new sources of information.In that quest lies the possibility of fulfillment and joy and the hope of keeping alive the text and the spirit of the First Amendment.
The greatest of the new media aren't concerned with "comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable". They are busy working, producing, searching for truth to free their life from those afflicting them.

It is patent that whoso is able to "afflict the comfortable" without fear is himself most comfortable of all.

Tony is ominous. Why do the majority of other journalists not get it?...because they don’t want to.
It will take a few more generations and a cleaning out of the dullards before we see genius like Tony's across the board in the media. Some people are just so slow.

We now face competition from all quarters including from people who have specialized expertise that journalists lack. The mistake that the MSM has made is that they won't even ask those with the expertise. Maybe they don't have time, they don't really care about a correct answer/analysis, or they think they know everything already.
