He really nails it here!
A very well written and supported piece by Mr. Sajak and, frankly, I was surprised at the quality what with my preconceived notions about Hollywood types that I've obtained from the subtle bias of the MSM. The phrase above sums it up neatly IMO.
Is it possible that Pat Sajak has been out there writing articles like this for a long time, and I've only recently seen them?
I'm starting to really love this guy!
I'm a pro-life atheist, and it certainly bothers me when the MSM does this. But it's not only the MSM that's doing it. Some here on FR use the phrase "religious right" as an epithet also.
Pat is being too kind by thinking this stereotyping is just some sort of mind-meld that happens by chance in newsrooms. Remember when Reuters directed their reporters not to use the term "terrorist"? They just made the mistake of putting that directive in writing.
The media are SO biased about this issue. I've lost count of how many times they've said that Terri S. is "brain dead," or "in a vegetative state." She is neither. She is brain damaged, which is not the same thing.

I watched Robert Wexler this morning saying that Terri wanted to die and it was wrong of us not to grant her wishes. If Mr. Wexler and all the other dims really believed what they were saying then why in the world are people like this animal that killed Jessica Lunsford being kept on a "suicide watch" and not allowed to kill himself? It sure would save us a lot of tax dollars!
bump for Pat Sajak
Atheist Left Wing scares me more.

And why, pray tell, do "mainstream journalists share a similar view of the world?" I submit that it is nothing more than simple economics. Adam Smith could have told you that; it is nothing more than a manifestation of the routine conspiring of tradesmen against the public. The cardinal rule of whoso would be a "mainstream" journalist is, not to engage in flame wars with other mainstream journalists. That, after all, would be to commit the folly of voluntarily picking a fair fight.So instead the "mainstream" journalist picks on anyone important who is not a mainstream journalist - and who is also not a toady who parrots the line that whatever "mainstream journalism" mentions is of first importance. Those who toady to "mainstream journalism" are rewarded with good PR, including - until they ran it into the ground - the label "liberal." Those who do not toady to journalism are considered fair game.
Why Broadcast Journalism is
Unnecessary and Illegitimate
A very thoughtful piece by an intelligent and astute man.
Now, I won't feel so guilty about watching my "guilty pleasure" - Wheel of Fortune.
BTTT
I had always hoped that game show hosts spent their off hours getting plastic surgery and drinking umbrella drinks by a pool. It's a damn shame that he actually thinks his views are so remarkable as to be taken seriously.
When the lifeless body of this empty headed GAME SHOW HOST is buried in the cold, cold, ground, his only legacy will be this: that he spent his life helping others waste theirs. That countless elderly Americans can sit idly in front of a television, pissing away some of their few remaining lucid moments. So that institutionalized people can walk around muttering "can I buy a vowel". This is the life's work of Pat Sajak. What a waste of air.
