re: #901 Flyers1974

My take is that the media repeats what is handed to them. Palin supporters have been stating that she is unorthodox. The media repeats like a parrot. Same with John McCain and “maverick.” I’m with those who say the media is more lazy and incompetent than biased.

Exactly. I completely share your view on the media. They’re essentially vacuous lazy hacks whose only true interest is maintaining proximity to power and access to the Beltway cocktail circuit. They’ll go whichever way the wind blows, and the only surety is that they will always, always be lazy rather than do what are supposed to be their real jobs.

The Village, or the “chattering class”, as the lefty/prog blogs call them. That’s all they are.
