“Witness” is a remarkable book and a real eye-opener. For example, the U.S. media has ALWAYS been kommie since at least the Bolshevik revolution, and such is by no means a recent phenomena.

At any rate, “Witness” is on the must-read short list for all well-informed conservatives.

My theory of “Bias in the Media” explains it. The incentive to be “kommie” has always inhered in the journalistic enterprise. Why? Because journalists don’t do things, they criticize. To be a true liberal, you must believe that “It is not the critic who counts . . . the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena.” (T. Roosevelt) But if all you do is criticize, you have great incentive to reverse that and to instead say, “You didn’t build that.”

My explanation for why “the media” became notorious for that bias only within our lifetimes is that “the media” didn’t really even begin to coalesce into a single entity until the telegraph (1844). The telegraph, and the Associated Press (started as the New York Associated Press in 1848). After the AP came into full flower after the Civil War, it began claiming “journalistic objectivity,” and things have gone downhill ever since.
