“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.
I have it in my wish list at Amazon.
He also explains where the label Progressive comes from,its the label the Communists gave themselves,this,all took place during the red scare,could not be known as a communist,so they took the label progressive,guess what Hillary calls herself?
My theory of Bias in the Media explains it. The incentive to be kommie has always inhered in the journalistic enterprise. Why? Because journalists dont 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 didnt build that.My explanation for why the media became notorious for that bias only within our lifetimes is that the media didnt 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.
