American journalism affects to be objective, which - considering the superficiality and negativity which inheres in making your living talking about what just happened - is actually absurd. The perceived "objectivity" of American journalism is simply a reflection of the unity imposed on journalism by the imperatives of reliance on news from outside the region covered by the reporters of any given newspaper. Leftism is simply the demand for respect and deference made by people who have little or no credentials for running ANYTHING, but who are great at criticizing and second guessing. The affinity of reporters who do nothing but criticize for politicians whose claim to fame is simply their ability to criticize the businessmen, military personnel, and policemen upon whom we all depend to get necessary things done is quite natural; what else should we honestly expect?
The situation this article so admirably describes is therefore only too understandable. And only too dangerous.
