"initiated by government officials and their critics"

Walt, don't the media head the "critics"?

Dear Walter

NO ONE and I mean NO ONE elected you to set the agenda....report the damn news and forget the agenda setting.

In the name of objectivity, too many media outlets have abdicated the press’s traditional role in helping to set the national agenda

Heather has to be bordering on insanity to write such a sentence. Me thinks she's only pissed because the Bush administration won't cow-tow to liberal "advice".

“Fox [News, a Murdoch property ] gains viewers over a presumably neutral CNN partly because people want opinions,” he said.

Hahahaha!!!

What's the real source for this satire? The Onion? Iowahawk?

What in the heck is he trying to say anyway?

They really live in a world of their imaginations, don't they? I think they really believe the crap they spew. Isn't that a description of sociopaths?

Apparently he hasn't been watching the CNN mini series, "War on the Middle Class". They've been playing it up big time this week.

They can't even run a newspaper sucessfully, and they want to run the country? (I know, I know, they are liberals.)

"Writhing in the tar pit..." I like it. I often use teergruben, 'tarpit', as a benefit of States Rights against the federal gun-grab(bers). The analogy is better now that Americans are being made to forget Bre'r Rabbit's tar-baby.

In the name of objectivity, too many media outlets have abdicated the press’s traditional role in helping to set the national agenda, longtime Washington Post reporter Walter Pincus said this week.

Another MSM ego, constricted more and more by declining circulation and poked by annoying bloggers and alternative media types, finally explodes in a stunning fit of grossly-inflated self-worth.

Those media a-holes already try to set the agenda, a secular liberal one.

As Joe Friday from Dragnet use to say "Just the facts mam"

Yea, We The People much prefer unelected liberal reporters setting the nation's agenda over our elected officials.

My gawd, liberal denial in its purest form:

An avowed Democrat, Pincus praised the conservative-leaning Rupert Murdoch for building a media empire that promotes a certain point of view.

“Fox [News, a Murdoch property ] gains viewers over a presumably neutral CNN partly because people want opinions,” he said.

CNN is ANYTHING but neutral. Fox has commentators from both sides of the aisle.

But since Pincus is such a flaming liberal, he sees the center as right-wing.

This brilliant observation was made in the WSJ's review of My Name is Rachel Corrie

"My Name Is Rachel Corrie," by contrast, is a scrappy, one-sided monologue consisting of nothing but the fugitive observations of a young woman who, like so many idealists, treated her emotions as facts. "I am disappointed," she declares, "that this is the base reality of our world and that we, in fact, participate in it. This is not at all what I asked for when I came into this world."

And that is what we see today in modern liberals. They are unable to discern their emotions from reality. In fact, they treat reality as unreal because it violates their emotions. And what is the typical reaction of liberals to the failure of their ideas? Why, they just need to do more of such, in hopes that if you do enough of it, it will actually succeed.

A sane person allows reality to interact with their opinions and feelings. Liberals see such as moral weakness.

Basically, at the end of the day, there is a Rachel Corrie hiding within every old, fat and dumpy liberal like Pincus. They all bemoan that the world is not the way they want it to be. And as a result, they all end up getting run over by bulldozers, either literally (in Corrie's case) or literally (in the MSM's case) because they simply refuse to acknowledge that the bulldozers are real, because they don't exist in their imaginary worlds.

"...Pincus told a lunchtime crowd Monday at the University of Arkansas Clinton School of Public Service in Little Rock."

I stopped reading the moment I saw this!

Walt, just report your version of your self servingly selected news, and continue to lose readers and advertisers as a result.
Note to shareholders of corporations that continue to advertise in media that no one reads or listens to.....show up at the shareholder meetings with pitchforks, torches and clubs.

media: The means by which information is distributed such as print, broadcast, CD-ROM, World Wide Web, and so forth.
Pinko, you are supposed to be conveyors, not originators.
