Shock - Honest Journalists

The editors of Slate magazine has published a piece of honest journalism. In this article, they admit that in an internal poll, they voted for Obama 55:1 against McCain.

This, of course, comes as no surprise. A similar ratio would be true for the NYT, Time, Newsweek, ABC, CBS, NPR, CNN. For NBC and MSNBC, it would be 56:0.

These journalists come out of Journalism schools across the country. These schools are usually on the the liberal end of Liberal Arts colleges. They are populated with people who want to 'make a difference' or some other equally vapid reasons. Intellectual standards are questionable and dissent is not only not encouraged, but actively discouraged. They embrace speech codes, while touting themselves as the vanguard of free expression.

These students do well in Women's studies and Black Studies classes. These courses drive anyone possessing intellectual honestly out the door in the first week. Not the journalists. They would not think of offending their professors. They simply parrot the liberal line, graduate with good grades - and can't get 'real' jobs when they are done.

They move in droves to the MSM where, now, they do not even have to put on the charade of objectivity. They are simply organs of the Democrat party. Should the Messiah win, the Fairness doctrine will be reinstated. The MSM will deemed to be 'fair' and will be exempt from the rules that will drive conservative talk radio off the air by demanding broadcasters give equal time to shows that will draw audiences in the dozens.

If this is what you want - by all means - the Messiah is your man. If you still believe in the American dream - McCain is the better choice.
