Don't tell LA Times but the knock on the door that they hear is the friendly undertaker and it is not a social call.

No longer is the media able to massage the news given to the American people and it chaps the hell out of their thin skin. Their lock on the news empire has been broken, and it will never return.

The bottom line is the leviathan American MSM, hopelessly slanted and leftist, has for years insisted on being the unfettered auditor of all things and people: politicians, bureaucrats, musicians, economists, military, foreign leaders, artists, musicians, food, movements, political parties. They have literally brought down Presidents and helped jail some personalities, and yet let others (some actually very guilty) scott-free. All at their simple whim. That is immense POWER. And it can go to their head.

It is only THEY, the MSM feels, who should not have any auditor nor a checker of their facts or of their credibility and power.

Human nature is what it is.

They absolutely HATE it that they have now been assigned one and must now be held accountable, and held to higher standards by We, the People. We have seized technology that most of them could not even have DREAMED of when they were finishing up their undergraduate or graduate work in Journalism many years ago.

Tough luck, MSM. Cry me a frikkin river.
