Suicide Run

clipped from pajamasmedia.com Mainstream news outlets have been caught off guard before, but they used to play catch up. Today they play “hide the ball.” So what changed? Ironically enough, scrutiny and accountability is the cause of much of the media’s increasingly disgraceful behavior. Once trailblazer media watchdogs like talk radio, The Media Research Center and Bernard Goldberg were joined with the awesome power of the Internet and Fox News, the media’s sins of omission and commission could no longer be hidden from the general public, or denied. This gave the Fourth Estate two options.  They could either: A) Clean up their act and do their jobs honorably … or B) Surrender their fig leafs of objectivity and run amok as the ideologues they really are. Doing their jobs honorably would mean a setback for the Leftist cause, and so they chose B. The good news is that this appears to be a suicide run.
