Wasserman needs to get a job, one that makes him a productive member of society.
...to a left-wing, commie, gun-grabbing, Bush-hating liar.
Pray for the students who have to sit through this pantload's classes. Fabrications are beauty, and beauty is fabrications.
I believe that is a Marine Kerry is speaking to!
So the press always gives in to the loudest most intimidating bully in any dispute. That explains why they always take up our enemies cause.

LOL
Bullied by the conservative right wing in the news room, my putrified flat foot. News is directed by homosexuals and Communists with an adjenda. This campaign season should demonstrate to all how the press is only a propaganda machine for the left.
Speaking of manipulation, I think Wasserman must be talking about stories like the Kerry / Edwards team stopping by Wendys for a photo-op with Marines and Edwards' smarmy story about celebrating their aniversary there every year; then going back to have their "real" dinner.
Boy, howdy!
He has a lot to say about Fox News at his website EW
OXYMORON ALERT!!!!!
When will these people stop calling themselves professionals? Journalism is a trade, not a profession. When it becomes certified, then it will be a profession. Until licensing or certification testing becomes a reality, news whoring is mererly a trade.
"It's hard now even to write for publication without being uncomfortably aware of just how thoroughly what you say is going to be inspected for any trace ofundesirable political tilttruth and denounced by a free-floating cadre of rightist warriors."
Typical liberal has to make the argument one of emotion rather than facts. They wouldn't have reason to cower and fear the "rightest warriors" if the facts were on their side.
Thanks to the Internet these guys have lost their power, and they know it.
I'm a activist, not an extremist.
I would indeed agree with the notion that the big, leftist mainstream media is dead meat when it comes to their "support the big lie" mode of operation, either through the deliberate reporting of liberal lies and spin, or through deliberate omissions, which is classic of their style of news manipulation.
Kerry, like most far-leftists, left the real world behind a long time ago. Tell the lies -- they will become truth. Their self-serving wishes are their "truth". Psychotics and alot worse. Lying is the modus operandi of the day. The great change for America is that their lying now only feeds their locked-step voters, the YELLOW DOG DEMS.
Bizarre.
And say . . . hey kids! Ever see "road apples"?
Well here they are:
"The attack doesn't come from ideologically committed journalists and commentators who put together reports clearly selected and spun-dry to sell a political line. There's a transparency of motive here that, as long as they retain some minimal respect for fact, may even work to enrich the variety of information and interpretations available to all of us."
What a load of horse droppings, I tell you!
In other words, it is actually a GOOD thing that these so-called journalists have left wing biases. Amazing.
How stupid does the writer think people are?
What's signigicant about W&L is that the STUDENTS are conservative and remain so, despite the strong efforsts of (some of) the faculty.
The phenom of "students more conservative than faculty" is not unique to W&L, but our students are generally more conservative and our faculty less UNIFORMLY liberal.
All things considered, its a great school, IMO.
Yes, but it's pretty significant that he's also talking specifically about US! Meaning -- FreeRepublic! Meaning he's admitting -- we're winning and they are losing.
Now you should EXPECT him to mis-characterize and de-legitimize our version of fact ("reality"). But he's acknowledging that the internet has bullied them away from acting as if they are the ONLY voice, the priesthood as it were, with the right to interpret such "reality".
Journalism ethics? HA! That's like putting Bill Clinton in charge of teaching about heart healthy eating habits. I guess it would be "Do as I say and not as I do."
