Twenty years ago I commented that Slick Willy saw the truth as just another club in his golf bag - not a commitment to principle - but, rather, a tactical instrument to be pulled out whenever useful, then put away to gather dust until next time.
Now, blowhard BO’R, Whorealdo, and even the previously wonderful Laura Ingraham have shown a similar trait. My thought is it is grounded in media elitism. They get to decide what a proper use of free speech is. From a career standpoint, they don’t want the competition.
How stupid do they have to be to miss the point that free speech can only survive as a principle if it is equally available to all?
By their “principle” every military secret the NYT has published should have been condemned as loudly as Geller. Somebody ask BO’R if, prior to airing any story, he asks himself whether the info would be “helpful” to our national aims and if the answer to that question is no, does he refrain from airing.
Media elitism - now coming to you from a formerly conservative source (not including BO’R in that finale).
