(Sequel to: Why I don’t watch TV news shows, anymore, at all ...)

Saw this abominable asshattery performance of dhimmitude, brought to our painful attention by the great Pamela of  Atlas Shrugs blog. The dhimmi getup and the kitchy gift clock, made me realize why I dislike the MSM so much. What happened during the last election cycle is nothing compared to what’s coming down the pike. All good Americans out there, brace yourselves for a full blown apologia for being American, great, exceptional, or even otherwise.

And,  it made me dig out this old draft of a post and publish it.

Just stumbled on this one, an exhaustive article at NewsBusters by Mattew Balan.

Writing a three-part article on the current situation, Victor Davis Hanson, a favorite scholar of ours, wrote under the header Corruption of the Press:

We have no media—at least as we once knew it. Somewhere in late 2007, it disappeared entirely, and became something akin to the old Pravda … [Sic]

Few any longer connect with a Newsweek editorial, a Time essay, a riff from NPR, or commentary on PBS. The front pages of the New York Times or Washington Post are op-eds in thin disguise. [Sic]

The utopian ends of social egalitarianism for the new media lords justified the tawdry means of distorting reality.

In the meantime, we are beginning to see that the media is about to add humiliation to its moral failure, as it grasps that once you worship a Messiah, you cannot leave the cult.

(Emphasis added)

The entire set of articles is wholly edifying, and recommended. The idea of an American version of Pravda, it’s both saddening and terrifying.
