I think y'all will find this exchange revelatory about the abiding and aggressive ignorance of the MSM, and the Columbia Journalism Review.

I, for one, would urge them to continue on their closed-ended blind path. That way, they truly do have no future. I wouldn't educate them abit. Come on, no one at Columbia is ever going to admit they have a thing or two to learn about journalism in any form...they are all too busy crowing about their expertise and handing out awards to each other.
Let them preen each other to death. Truth will benefit.

A newspaperman once told me, "News is what your editor says it is, unless the publisher says it isn't." Used to be, that was true. Not any more - we're the publishers and editors.

35 years ago I decided not to persue a degree in Journalism.

Thank God. I would have either been eventually fired or turned into a liberal pod-person.

Nice job.

I expect after the Jordan incident that the MSM will try to destroy the alterno sphere (including FreeRepublic) in earnest. (Expect FreeRepublic to be sued over the O Malley affair.)

They bitterly regret not taking out Rush when they had the chance. Expect a concerted attack within the next several months.

Hope your schedule is cleared for some pro bono work.

Good job. I'm not in any position to give advice, but I like the way President "W" doesn't reveal his abilities after confounding his opposition. Rather, he explains the obvious in that the opposition "misunderestimated" him.

You have obviously confounded some very big fish. Maybe it's best to keep elitists confounded rather than reveal our abilities, backgrounds, etc. When I try to toot my horn, it usually blares off key.

God bless you and keep up the good work.

But you make the mistake of confusing the players for the fans.

This is exactly what the MSM wants lump together. On a strategic level, this is the very point that needs to be shouted from the rooftops in order to counter MSM attempt to smear the players by pointing to the conduct of the so called fans.

Please hammer this point early, often and at every opportunity one can!

There was an article in the WSJ that claimed that Eason Jordan was on his way out at CNN, long before his careless remarks at Davos revealed his anti-American bias. Jordan may have been on his way out, but it wasn't because CNN moving toward a more honest, balanced coverage, it was because CNN was trying to move toward a more entertaining form of coverage.

Lastly, the tenor of your note to me suggests that you still lack a working understanding of what the blogosphere does, and why it is important.

Someone needs to write a "Blogosphere for Dummies" book.

Excellent stuff, CBB! I do admit to getting the giggles over his quisling "I didn't mean YOU specifically" response. Yours are excellent.

"The salivating morons who make up the lynch mob prevail."

"I did not say every poli-blogger, or even every blogger gunning for Jordan, is a slavering moron."

I had to read both statements several times, and I think I understand now.

1. The salivating morons prevailed.
2. Not every poli-blogger, or even every blogger gunning for Jordan is a slavering moron - (different from a salivating moron I presume.)
3. It appears that he is not angry at at poli-bloggers or bloggers gunning for Jordan. At least, not as long as they only slaver. But if they "salivate," then God save them from Lovelady's wrath!
4. His main anger is directed only at salivating morons.

I did say, "The slavering morons who make up the lynch mob prevail." That is not the same as saying that every poli-blogger, or even every blogger gunning for Jordan, is a slavering moron. It is to say that those who do fit that description have prevailed in this instance

"Gee, I didn't say that ALL blacks were stupid, but the niggers are!"
