Cheerful, Bespectacled Hockey Mom Drives Journalists Nuts
“I hardly consider that “running with” a rumor or slur, Darrell. Should the media not have reported the stated reason that Palin revealed her daughter’s pregnancy?”
sarcasm: “And in other news, ‘some’ have reported that people whose names begin with the letter B, such as Boris, or maybe Barack are a dire threat to children and small animals. ”
See what I did genius? I didn’t ‘report’ anything. I did no research, no critical thinking, nor did I subject the assertion to a pluasibility test. Nor did I bother to actually approach the intended victim (whoops!) I mean subject for any sort of clarification. I regurgitated something that has a very negative implication for someone. And this is what passes for journalism. If the MSM should have learned anything from 2004, that is that attempting to throw an election (Rather and his precious ANG memo)is not well received. Basic journalistic skepticism and professionalism would have prevented that stupidity, as well as what we’re witnessing this week.
