"Seriously."
"First, there was the Trayvon Martin boondoggle a few months ago."
"Then yesterday, evidence of some creative editing regarding Mitt Romneys visit to a Wawa in Pennsylvania."
"Today, we have Andrea Mitchells spectacularly lame followup to criticism of the Romney clip edit which amounted to Ms. Mitchell saying, with a sigh and a frown, Oh, bother. Fine. Heres what we left out. She failed to acknowledge what the criticism entailed; she neglected to point out how the editing misrepresented the event being covered; and she offered nothing resembling an apology or an admission of responsibility for something that was, as a matter of fact, irresponsible."

That's one great rant. You're right - they threw it away - all the credibility built up over the years... threw it away for one political party.
Here's the real story that needs to be written - what made them do it? Group think? Fake letters? Brown nosing? Fighting for 'prizes' rather than the respect of their readers and viewers? Arrogance? Being elitist - totally out of touch with real people? What? what could make people destroy an honorable profession - for nothing...
You’ll like this - it’s a reporter asking questions of elites while NOT fawning..

Not for nothing. Not in their minds, anyway. They want a socialist dictatorship, if not a full-blown Communist dictatorship. It’s been what they have been taught to want all through school. And they have been taught to lie, deceive, and use any other dirty trick to achieve that goal.
Kandra-”You have done a superlative job of diminishing what was once a great profession and undermining one of the vital underpinnings of democracy, a free press.
Good job.
I just have one question:
What the hell is wrong with you guys?”
What they are doing makes perfect sense to them. A free country needs a press the people can trust to tell the truth. They want a dictatorship. Destroy the media, and they are closer to their goal.
And it is a self-reinforcing cabal. No one gets promoted or gets career advancement in the State-run Media unless they toe the line.
