Walt, don't the media head the "critics"?
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE elected you to set the agenda....report the damn news and forget the agenda setting.
Just report the NEWS and STFU!!
Wow. These people are as self absorbed as they are in Hollywood.
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".
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?
*Sigh*
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.)
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"
>>>In the name of objectivity, too many media outlets have abdicated the presss traditional role in helping to set the national agenda, longtime Washington Post reporter Walter Pincus said this week. <<<
Yea, We The People much prefer unelected liberal reporters setting the nation's agenda over our elected officials.
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.
"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.
I stopped reading the moment I saw this!
