The media kerfuffle (re: Bloggers)

Washington Times ^ | Tuesday, February 15, 2005 | House Editorial

[JohnHuang2]

Add "salivating morons" to the mainstream media's growing canon of stupid things to say about the ever-vigilant bloggers. Steve Lovelady, managing editor of the Columbia Journalism Review, the self-styled flagship of journalism, said this in the fallout of CNN chief news executive Eason Jordan's resignation on Friday: "The salivating morons who make up the lynch mob prevail." Add also, as loath as we are to do so, the Wall Street Journal's editorial comment from yesterday that professional journalism, of which it proclaims membership, is much better than "the enthusiasms and vendettas of amateurs." Click to learn more... As a general rule, we greatly admire the WSJ's editorial page, but we were a little disappointed to see this editorial yesterday, "The Jordan Kerfuffle," side with the mainstream liberal media — which, by the way, has been perfectly happy over the years to harvest

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

Sounds like the sort of thing old King George III would have said about the time Cornwallis got himself bottled up on the peninsula.

John F. Kerry would have been elected...

LOL.

I got a real kick out of Kerry telling the Democrats at their get together last week, "This great party of ours doesn't need a makeover," adding he came "within inches" of winning the presidency. ( 2/10/05 )

__ This from a guy who lost 97% of the fastest growing counties in the country in 2004.

All Jordan had to do was release the tape, if he wasn't guilty of falsely accusing our troops. End of story.

Exactly!

[eureka!]

The Washington Times is so refreshing. Maybe it's because they don't lie to the readers like the main of the presstitutes. As such, the WT does not fear (and hence attack and try to discredit) bloggers and the collective citizen investigative reporters here on FreeRepublic.

Memo to MSM: Your days are over. Get used to it. Better yet, start being 'fair and balanced' (*snicker*) and maybe we'll start trusting you again in another decade or so once we are satisfied with your bona fides....
