What is thy bidding, O master?

Very nice. My quibble, not that you want one, is that in light of half-century more study of the problem than your son had, I have the opinion that journalism causes "liberalism," rather than being led by it.

My rationale is that journalists, being unregulated, have found the way of using printing presses which yields the most fun and profit. And that way does not include internal ideological competition. Reagan's "Eleventh Commandment" is, "Thou shalt not criticize a fellow Republican." The establishment which calls itself "objective journalism" enforces a strict pecking order:

• journalists are not to be pecked, and if you attack a journalist's objectivity then you are not a journalist.

• People who are not journalists but who promote the idea that talking (e.g., second guessing) is more important than doing) may be pecked lightly but are to be given favorable PR and called good things like "moderate" or (before the term was run into the ground) "liberal." These include:
  • Celebrities
  • Professors
  • Trial lawyers.
  • Rich people who use their money for "liberal" causes.
  • Poor people - provided they do not get uppity and try to actually accomplish things and/or espouse middle class values.

• People who do things instead of just talking are a threat to the idea that talking is the important thing. Therefore they are to be pecked, and second guessed, mercilessly. Such people are naturals for the Republican Party, and are to be labeled Right Wing Extremists and other perjoratives. They include:
  • Businessmen, esp Walmart
  • Police and the military
  • The middle class generally, particularly white people.
  • Serious Christians.

  Why Broadcast Journalism is
  Unnecessary and Illegitimate

Interesing use of an iconographic image. Scum-bunny Cong more than "had it coming," by the way. The fake photos aren't taking aim at the media. The media is not the "victim" of them.

A depiction of a bad guy who accidentally blows himself up would be more accurate.the analogy is slight skewed, since while the photoshopped images certainly discredited the MSM, that was not the intent.

It would be more accurate to depict the media shooting THEMSELVES. The pictures didn't kill the media; it was a suicide.

The summary execution of this Viet Cong prisoner was no crime.

Agreed. Ping to my #30.
