1. The “media bias” scapegoat is so transparent at this point. You can bank on the person employing it being a hater of truth. Those who utilize it regularly despise the inconvenience of true journalism exposing their words and actions as being shitty.
2. Really looking forward to the updated World Press Freedom Index in the coming days. I’m feeling a sub-65 drop for the U.S.
OMG that NYTimes 'profile' of Lauren Bezos made me ill - I couldn't and didn't finish it!
Speaking of revulsion: I stopped caring about the Correspondents Dinner after seeing (MS)NBC's Brian Williams cavorting and 'rapping' on stage with members of Dubya's administration. BLECH!!!
Despite that our watch dog press has become the lapdog press and the “talking hairdos” on national and local news programs do literally no journalism whatsoever, and the leading legacy newspapers are nothing more that huge bullhorns for a political class of obscenely wealthy individuals and families, honest journalism is still very much alive. Truth does continue to effectively fight its way through the crap it’s buried under. Why else would the powers that be continue to relentlessly attack and chip away at our First Amendment rights? The power of the pen is still mightier than the sword. Granted its much harder to find the truth these days, but it’s doable. It’s just a matter of caring enough to do the extra work.
Excellent!

I pulled the same quote. Absolute perfection.
