Our Advocacy-Obsessed Apparatchik MSM

Fortunately, as a new video from Canada’s Sun TV explores, it’s still possible to punch back twice as hard against such tactics. As the Instaprofessor writes, linking to the same column by Byron York that inspired Peter Wehner’s post at Commentary, “Don’t be surprised, journalists, if many Americans view you as the enemy as a result. Don’t blame them. You’ve taken sides. When you act as agents for the apparat, don’t be shocked when people think of you as apparatchiks.” [ links added to quote]

One blogger has come out for media control, which would be the right wing counterpart to gun control.   I have felt the same thing myself.  Something needs to be done about them, no question about that.  They see themselves as the holiest of the holies, though.  Fierce opposition should be expected.

Update:

You can kill with words as well as with guns.
