The Influence of Fools: Why Liberals are Mad at the MSM

[MazeRat7]

Intro:
Liberals are angry with the mainstream media, argues John Atcheson, because for the last four years they have utterly failed to hold our leaders accountable to the truth. If the press doesn't challenge those in power, and don’t dig for more information, then politicians, being politicians, will tell ever bigger lies.

There have been many threads here lately about failure to hold representatives accountable, failure to focus what "we" consider prominent stories, failure do basic truth seeking, too much focus on the mundane (chili fingers, Runaway brides), etc. I came across this article that I thought did a nice job of tying it all together and thought I would share. Enjoy the read.

1. Thanks Rat.

Though I naturally take issue with the author's use of the word "mainstream" to describe the dominant Corporate Media.
