In 1992, I nearly drove off the road while driving between Durango, Colorado and Farmington, New Mexico on election night: when it was announced on NPR that Clinton had been declared the winner, the newsroom burst into loud and sustained cheering and revelry. I was so furious that I immediately cancelled my payroll deduction to support my local NPR station, and have not wasted a cent on NPR voluntarily (I know they still get into my wallet through the gummint).

Almost all the MSM has completely abandoned any pretext at objectivity. Jefferson's despairing comment in 1807 about newspapers could as easily today be expanded today to include most of the electronic media: It is a melancholy truth, that a suppression of the press could not more compleatly deprive the nation of it's benefits, than is done by it's abandoned prostitution to falsehood. Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.

Fortunately, the internet is rapidly driving the MSM into irrelevance, and their inordinate pernicious effect on the body politic is rapidly subsiding.
