How many times does this have to happen before the press seriously examines why so many of them get the big stories wrong in exactly the same way? After decades of boasting about "hiring diversity," everybody in America's newsrooms is now so remarkably diverse they all make exactly the same mistakes.

Classic Steyn.

"How many times does this have to happen before the press seriously examines why so many of them get the big stories wrong in exactly the same way?"

Yet we can click back in the archive of the Sun-Times and find an article by Steyn dated September 4th:

"Anyone watching TV in recent days will have seen plenty of "re-primitivized man," not in Liberia or Somalia, but in Louisiana. Cops smashing the Wal-Mart DVD cabinet so they can get their share of the booty along with the rest of the looters, gangs firing on a children's hospital and on rescue helicopters, hurricane victims being raped in the New Orleans Convention Center. . . "

"Not exactly the most impressive law enforcement agency even on a good day, the New Orleans Police Department sent along some 80 officers to rescue the rape victims trapped in the Convention Center, but were beaten back by the mob"

I usually find Steyn's stuff interesting and thought provoking, but this article is laughable hypocracy, at best.
