Liberally oriented newspaper editors increasingly wonder why subscription and circulation numbers continue to plummet among the old guard of news media: the printed page.

What are they, the dumbest people on earth?

Why would any population of any nation that has the slightest modicum of freedom choose to subject itself to the onset of treasonous and vapid judgment with which these editors seem so well endowed?

Maybe these editors are bored by the slow news cycle that is the month of August, maybe they fell asleep while sitting at their desk playing sudoku, maybe their consensual sex partners broke pieces of china over their noggins, or worst of all maybe their viewpoint of the American people is so low that they think we won't notice. Whatever the case editors at the New York Times, The Philadelphia Daily News, and The Washington Post deserve not merely ridicule but complete isolation from American civilization for the treachery they promoted this week.

One of McCullough's best columns ever!

Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the press, for they will steal your HONOR. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse.
- Mark Twain

Time to write to Steven D. Levitt and tell the moron if some terrorist uses one of the ideas in his coloum that he will be dragged from his office and hung ny the general public.

I know that whenever I read our local rag, Arizona Repugnant, I feel dirty.

Over 100 years ago editors described this as a “dead cat day”.

When news is slow you toss a dead cat in front of a politician and write about how he reacts to it.

Do not pass by my epitaph, traveler.
But having stopped, listen and learn, then go your way.
There is no boat in Hades, no ferryman Charon,
No caretaker Aiakos, no dog Cerberus.
All we who are dead below
Have become bones and ashes, but nothing else.
I have spoken to you honestly, go on, traveler,
Lest even while dead I seem loquacious to you.
— Roman Tombstone

What’s worse is reading the responses to his proposal . So many idiots think his blog topic is a GREAT idea. We are really lost as a nation.

The “Fourth Estate” has become the “Fifth Column”.

[OESY]

I truly wonder. Did you ever read Mark Steyn's book "America Alone"? Could it be too late?
