Here’s what I believe: Any idiot who kneejerkedly takes a position directly contrary to what they think the media is saying is just as much a prisoner of the media’s mind-wash as the most goosestepping liberal.

If you always take a position contrary to what Mr. Media says — if Mr. Media says x, so you decide “anti-x” — then Mr. Media still controls your brain. Because by saying x they dictate you will, without a moment’s thought, brainlessly parrot back “anti-x!”

Whether Herman Cain is innocent or guilty of what he is alleged to have done is wholly independent of whether the media “wants” him to be guilty.

Yes, of course they want him to be guilty. It doesn’t mean we shut our brain’s off just because we don not like the media.
