I often wonder if they ever talk to anyone besides themselves. They speak in their own language and don’t seem to understand American at all.

Right now the corrupt MSM is ... the Ministry of Truth.

Don't get too excited.

From what I can tell they've spawned a couple of generations of superhippies.

The Washington Post reported this weekend’s White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner “will raise about $150,000 for journalism scholarships, according to the WHCA, a nonprofit group.” The piece then went on to report “some media organizations will drop as much as $200,000 each to entertain an elite list of guests” at after parties. Ultimately, the money raised for scholarships is “small change.” The Post concludes“The real targets are a few hundred elite and influential guests.

Yeah sure... the 'charity' lie enables these blowhards to write off a big chunk of the ego trip on their taxes.

In short we - the TAXPAYERS are stuck with a big part of the party bill. Let them pay for their own damn party... The folks at the Washington Post weren't born yesterday - they should report the truth.

They push the elite meme - that's why they're marginally included. If they lost their jobs as 'journalists', true elites wouldn't give 'em the time of day... Either would Hollywood's liberal elites...

Journalists think they've been invited to the party - when in fact only their 'connection' as been invited. Big difference. Ask some former journalist how easy the doors open for them now... You 'former' guys from the New York Times and Washington Post... are you there?

Thoroughly sick of Scarborough.

He’s sold his soul.

Here, I have to call BS. I’ve known a bunch of hippies in my time, and most of the genuine hippies are anti-authority and pretty much want to be left alone to do “their thing.”

The MSM wouldn’t admit a hippy to their ranks if they were paid to do so. The MSM is controlled by the earnest, soft-shoe liberal elite who went to school, got good grades, sat up straight and behaved in class, shined their shoes and followed all the rules. They’re sycophants, brown-nosers and boot-licking toadies who have not had an independent thought in their heads since they quit filling their diapers.

What we have now is a tyranny of the over-educated, under-informed brown-noser, many of whom have graduated with very august sounding degrees from Ivy League schools, The branding and pretension of these schools has given their graduates a preening sense of intellectual entitlement that “they’re right because they’re smart, and they’re smart because they went to Harvard/Yale/Princeton/etc and those schools only admit ‘the best’ so you graduates are ‘the best and brightest’ “ and so on.

The “elite” media hates me?

Seems fair.

I guess some senators don’t realize they are supposed to represent the leftist media...

Good precis, thanks. But it isn't just the Ivies; all the liberal-arts colleges up East are like that. The cultural divide appears to run along the crest of the Blue Ridge. West of that is Yayhoo country, to hear them tell it.

Read the Jan, 2010 Commentary story about Sarah Palin. It released an avalanche of despite and open hatred ..... check links and read David Frum's comment at his own blog on Commentary's piece, and be sure to read all the comments on both. Then wander over to Gawker.com and see what "Pareena" had to say about Frum et al., and the responses to same at both Gawker and Jewschool.com -- you'll see the bones of the whole thing laid bare.

Personally, I had no idea the contempt for Middle America that lives on the Atlantic Slope. But I got an education pretty damn fast, even including some of the newer "neocon" commentators who've made names for themselves in the last five years.
