One of the problems with our media is just how ignorant (and generally shallow in their thinking) they are. A CNN "reporter" just tried to mock me because he didn't know “Show me the man and I'll show you the crime” was the infamous line from Stalin's chief of secret police.

I thought the Prez wasn’t going to the Summit?
When did that change?

Which is more astounding?

1. That the so-called "reporter" didn't recognize such a well know and significant reference?

2. That upon encountering an unfamiliar statement, quote or idea the "reporter" wasn't astute enough to do a quick search by smart phone
   before commenting on the subject?

Most people today have rapid, often almost instantaneous, access to more information than found in the old Encyclopedia Britanica.
Yet it is surprising to see how many frequently ask the dumb question or make the most uninformed comment without making any attempt to inform themselves.

Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. I think our media and the Liberals are a case in point.
