IOW ATLAS SHRUGGED
The “anti dog eat dog rule”
upstarts are not allowed if they damage existing established companies AND they have to share their resources with the established companies.
(crony capitalism. I can’t believe part 1 did not make it at the box office)

The "journalism community" just cannot come to terms with the fact they don't control information flow anymore.The gnashing of teeth has been going on for at least 15 years, and over the past 10 years it has become downright nasty, with the dinosaur newsrooms constantly trying to affirm their relevance by getting socialists and goofball leftists elected against the will of most decent Americans.
They were surprised to see their Al Gore lose, but they were thoroughly flummoxed when Kerry lost despite pulling out all the stops. It was around that point they decided to stop even pretending to be "objective".
Their success with getting Ubama elected was too easy after 8 years of relentlessly beating up Bush, and so now they are wondering how on earth they are going to get Ubama reelected. I'm sure the Journ-O-listers are putting their heads together even as we post.

Over and over again, the writer commits the unpardonable sin of putting “objective” and “journalism” in the same sentence.

The culture minister in the Canadian province of Quebec recently discussed creating a new law that would legislate who could be a professional journalist as opposed to what the minister called amateur bloggers. While the criteria for admission to the professional category werent clearly described, the government said it wanted to identify those journalists who were dedicated to serving the public interest, and anyone with the professional rank would enjoy certain privileges such as better access to government sources. We can refer to the "professional rank" as the "Soviet" reporters.
