As a journalist myself, I found this as one of the funniest and most astute columns I've read in YEARS!

Excellent column. Anderson knows that modern journalism is not dangerous necessarily for what it puts in, but for for what it leaves out. Too many stories focusing on the latest nutty liberal cause while leaving out what's actually going on.

I've seen too many stories about the tragic case of some unfortunate omitting the fact that the unfortunate might have caused his or her bad situation. At the end of every one of those unfortunate-victim stories, the alphabet journalist would ask or imply what the government was going to do for the poor unfortunate. I wanted to scream at my tv, "tell the poor unfortunate to quit whining and get a job!!!

As the msm dies off in pieces, more and more of these leftist twits will begin to infect the ether.

They will not survive long here, but they will ruin things for a few years.

The amount of buffalo chips we will have to sort through will double, at least for a while.

First of all, it is common knowledge to everyone but journalists that journalists are among the most goofy, self-important, ill-mannered and neurotic individuals extant.

Article-poster excluded?
