Jennifer Rubin has been certifiably insane for at least a decade ...

They’re a few decades late. Media objectivity died decades ago

Jennifer: if you choose to visit my house you had better bring some friends because I won't go quietly (if ya catch my drift).

Some time ago I heard about a poll that was done of students of the Columbia School of Journalism,considered by many to be the Harvard and Oxford of journalism schools.

The question was simple: Why did you choose a career in journalism?

The most common answer was "because I want to change the world". Says it all,I'd say.

The writer (long cited by the Post as their “Republican columnist” for balance) ...

Why is it that every propaganda bureau, from the Washington Post to "The View," has to find a token Republican to bring on board who hates Republicans? It's like you're not allowed to be a Republican, with a voice in major media, without hauling around an enormous load of self-loathing ... like a white, heterosexual male in the Democratic Party leadership.

They’re going to have to try to find some first. There isn’t any impartiality and balance in the extreme far left running the yellowstream media” in this country today. It’s ALL commie crap.

Rush mentioned the same thing, 20 or so years ago. I still remember him saying that like it was yesterday.

"Advocacy journalism" is propaganda. Propaganda has a place - in a lobbyist office, in ad agencies, in the office of a political party of either side. Even on the op ed page of a newspaper.

But propaganda doesn't belong in a newspaper because it's unethical riding the earned integrity of the paper and profession.

It the same in the medical field - quacks selling miracle 'cures' would love to have a shared office with a real doctor - to steal the earned integrity of the medical professional. Decent people instinctively know it's wrong. People like Turley. People like us.

That said, Jennifer Rubin's crass - she sees her job as selling snake oil to the gullible. Really tacky stuff. I'm amazed the Times keeps her...

That ended a long time ago, if it ever existed.

First, detect some impartiality and balance for us. Where?

1970s doesn’t count.

Advocacy journalism has been happening for decades. Now the Libs are more openly advocating for it. They must feel confident that there won't be any major negative repercussions on them.

David Halberstam wrote The Powers that Be in the 1970s.

The news, and reporting, for the longest time has not been impartial nor has it been balanced.
It is Pravda for the Democrat party and now the official voice for the Federal government.
I haven’t heard a fair and balanced report from any of the news stations for a at least three or four decades. .
Seems to me they are just pulling back the curtain and revealing who they really are.

That’s exactly what I thought when I read her words.

I wonder if she realizes she’s not the first person to believe a constant stream of propaganda coupled with genocide is the solution to society’s problems.

Barn door, horses. In fact the barn burned down some time ago.

Maybe not. Don’t think she is that clueless. But then again, after playing she is something she is not (a conservative) for so many years she may have lost her grip on reality completely.
