You Can’t Hate the Media Enough

Is there any media outlet in the country that does actual journalism? I’ll save you the time, the answer is a resounding “no.” None, not one, is worth their weight in post-digested food, and neither are the people who work there (and I say this as someone who knows a lot of people who work there, and likes some of them). It is getting harder and harder to come away from consuming any “news” from anywhere and not be dumber for the experience. No matter how much you dislike these people and that profession, you cannot hate them enough.

How many “journalists,” upon seeing the original video about fraud in the Minnesota welfare system committed by Somalis, set out to report on the substance of the story versus how many reports did you see of reporters calling Nick Shirley’s reporting at “a viral video” or “a right-wing blogger”?

You could tell Nick was over the target by how the leftist corporate media shuffled through their typical playbook for anything that makes Democrats look bad. First, they ignore it. When it becomes too big to ignore, they attack it. When the attacks don’t work, they downplay it. When that doesn’t work, they declare it’s not a scandal because everyone does it.

They ignored Shirley until they could no longer do it – tens of millions of views online for a basic story even a dimwitted Democrat could understand tends to do that.
