Tell me again: why do you want to be a "journalist"?

Poll: Black & White Ferguson Residents Agree - Media Made Things Worse   .... "The media didn't care about facts, so injustices was manufactured -- just so a bunch of elite, rich, predominantly white, leftwing  cable news anchors and reporters could grandstand and pretend they are Down With The Struggle.

"This poll won't matter. No one in the elite media gives a damn about the residents of Ferguson. The media storm was never about making anyone's life better. It was about preening and politics and pretty pictures of burnt out buildings. The media fed the mob at the expense of the people. And they can't wait to do it again."

On that premier source of news for low-information voters, "The View": Rosie O’Donnell asks: Who's Charles Krauthammer?
... "The group discussed Krauthammer’s recent remarks that the president was a narcissist, with O’Donnell stating that she didn’t know who Krauthammer was or what he did for a living." ...

CNN Reporter asks Obama biased question – “Are GOP candidates uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible?”    Video
"Wow, you’d think Lothian would have been more subtle about his bias, especially since he is strictly functioning as a news reporter. I would have expected a question framed with “do you agree with…?” or simply “what are your thoughts about this?”. But he exposed himself as many others have, and now we know.  Video


On the New York Times: Gray Lady Suffers Malaise   ... "Fair enough, but consider the source — over the past 12 years, the New York Times, when not going on benders on the evils of golf courses and air conditioning, and publishing outright fabulism, has, more recently, published pieces calling for the end of the US Constitution, and mocking the “fervid subsets of evangelical Christianity” of its presidential candidates — only, upon further review, to discover that these extreme worldviews are Catholicism, Lutheranism and Mormonism, bedrock religions of America’s history. .... And of course, in 2008, it went all-in to champion a man who was clearly not ready to be president, to the point of actively burying potentially damaging stories about him and refusing to run op-eds from his opponent." ...   Emphasis mine, TD

 The press on domestic violence    On Obama's 2008 Father's Day address in Jesse Jackson's Chicago church:
Obama’s message was unequivocal. The New York Times took a day off from worrying about the separation of church and state and headlined its article on the talk,“Obama Sharply Assails Absent Black Fathers.”
