PJ Media

Like the social insects, journalists in the West function with the strengths and weaknesses of a group mind. Think of them as younger, more attractive versions of Helen Thomas. There is something called JournoList that is sort of like a secret society for lefty scribblers. In their emails to one another they thrash out the line to be taken on whatever the issue is. Here is an example: After promoting Obama as a cool rationalist above the fray as he must be as leader of a nation with an evil past to live down and one that needs relationships reset with the rest of the world, the oddly-named mainstream media is giving us a revised picture of the jaw-clinching ass-kicker in the Oval Office, a man capable of becoming vewy, vewy angwy.
