My biggest beef with Barnicle isn’t his past as a columnist. It’s the fact that he—very—rarely contributes interesting comments to the Morning Joe conversation.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
I walked by the television this morning, the they had a four-eyed blowhard pontificating on it like an expert. (I have four-eyes as well, so I don’t feel bad including that there)
I paused as I looked, thinking perhaps I should know who it is with people hanging on his every word. And then I thought, if these people are treating him like some kind of wise oracle, there is zero possibility that he would be that.
Until I saw his picture, I didn’t realize it was Mike Barnicle. Well. They don’t really punish plagiarism in journalism any more, or they don’t observe the tenets of journalism any more, so this guy, who should never have worked after his firing from the Boston Glob, is no doubt viewed as a person of influence by the likes of the “Morning Joe”.
Comments BUMP!
