They (our betters) have freedom of speech, but when we speak, we're "morons"?

When an elite lies about our military and we point it out we're the ones who are wrong? Gimme a break.

The little people don't know their place when dealing with the high and mighty liberal elites of CNN or CBS or the Columbia Journalism Review? Maybe the little people don't care.

Is the rise of crusading bloggers a healthy development, as many media analysts maintain, or the creation of a new Wild West with no rules or responsibilities? Hours after Jordan stepped down, Steve Lovelady of Columbia Journalism Review e-mailed his verdict to New York University professor and blogger Jay Rosen: "The salivating morons who make up the lynch mob prevail."

Remember, the mighty lib elites are the same people who think they can spend your money better than you can. They can help you run your lives by decreeing you *must not* drive without a seat belt. Or bike without a helmet. Or own a gun. If I choose to not wear a seat belt or a helmet, that should be my choice. With that choice I absolve the car manufacturer, other drivers, bike makers etc...for injuries sustained that would not have been sustained otherwise? Sound like a decent deal?

Every problem that exists, to them, can be answered with the phrase "more government" instead of "Let the people make up their own minds".

That they think the news should be doled out in much the same way as our money and our laws is hardly surprising. They have the same air of arrogance as any royal family from the pre-revolutionary eras. Eventually, the liberal MSM will get overthrown by a popular revolt as more and more people discover the interent and the truth.

Won't that be great?
