More yawning from the media.

Some free advice for Jennifer Rubin:

Railing at "the media", even with hyperlinks to particularly egregious examples of media bias and/or cluelessness, may make you feel good, but it will hardly have any meaningful effect.

Nobody in the MFM is going to look at your well-deserved swipes at "the media" and say to themselves, "you know, Jennifer Rubin is right, I do need to stop being an extension of the DNC's campaign organization, and should instead think for myself and break out of the mold of the clueless leftist 'journo'".

Instead, to be more effective, find a particularly nauseating example of MFM bias on a weekly basis, attach a name and a face to it, have a meticulously-researched compilation of that journo's idiocies as backup, and then mercilessly ridicule their lack of professionalism. You need to make them look like such toadies and clowns that their colleagues will have to use all of their self-control to avoid laughing in their faces (while they all laugh behind their backs), and little children will want to walk up to them and try to honk their red rubber clown noses.

It may not change the behavior of any single leftist journo, but if you rinse and repeat, some of them may eventually get the message and mend their corrupt ways.

Exactly.

It may not change the behavior of any single leftist journo...

But it will creat doubt about the MSM in the minds of anyone who sees the bias. And that is a victory.
