The Delusional Self-Importance of the Liberal Media

I have long marveled at liberals' air of superiority and lack of self-reflection, which have always been particularly evident among liberal media elites and journalists. They tend to view themselves as sacrosanct and above scrutiny.Perhaps this attitude sprang from the British and, later, American tradition that the press is the Fourth Estate. It doesn't just serve to inform the people and make them better contributors to the democratic process. It is the virtual fourth branch of government, operating as a watchdog on the formal branches to further check their potential abuses of power.

This is a good article about the media.

The Delusional Self-Importance of the Liberal Media

I love the title!

The media almost always have an air of “we are much more highly evolved than you are”.

[A_Former_Democrat]

They pretend to be so much smart and classier than everyone else

Nothing could be further from the truth. They’re blind as bats

[RetiredTexasVet]

When you are just a paid pimp or pimpette for the liberal elite ... then an inflated Self-Importance is delusional.

I diaagree with Limbaugh’s premise. It’s not the exaggerated sense of self-importance that has brought the media down. It’s their unabashed mendacity, deceit, treachery, chicanery, criminality, machiavellianism, and unapologetic propagandistic advocacy for every sort of tyrannical political and economic regime that has plagued this benighted land year after year that has made them an enemy to be shunned and fought by liberty-minded free people everywhere.
