To be sure, there have been conservative feeding frenzies: about Barack Obama’s pastor, John Kerry’s war record, etc. But the mainstream media usually has tasked itself with the duty of debunking and dispelling such “hysteria.”

The "dog in the night" is not barking.

Why?

I am willing to believe that journalists like Gregory are sincere in their desire to play it straight.

And that's why I am willing to believe that Jonah Goldberg is a fool.

"Unlike some of my colleagues on the right, I don’t think there’s a conspiracy at work. Rather, I think journalists tend to act on their instincts"

And yet, none of the facts relayed in Jonah's story backs up this thesis. It's clearly a concerted decision to spike this story by the media.

Unlike some of my colleagues on the right, I don’t think there’s a conspiracy at work.

Wrong! This isn't "groupthink". As the author pointed out with Gregory, the MSM doesn't want to talk about it and, when forced to, they parrot the White House talking points. (e.g. How many times was the term "fog of war" repeated by reporters verses the misinformation about the video, emails, etc.?)

The sooner people understand this, the sooner we can level the playing field.

I agree with the author when he said that he thinks that the mainstream media newsers tend to act on their instincts

The bald-faced truth is that the Obama admin screwed up big-time committing a gross act of dereliction of duty, and the lib media is trying to squash the story... and therefore committing a gross dereliction of duty themselves. Full stop.

It’s downright frightening, it should make every American fearful that the media can have this much power.
