MSM to GOP Candidate: ‘We’re Not Interested’

August 13, 2010 - 12:17 pm - by Ed Driscoll

At the American Spectator, Stacy McCain spots an example of Ruling Class Journalism at its finest:

When a Republican consultant tried to interest a reporter for the Torrance (Calif.) Daily Breeze in GOP challenger Mattie Fein’s response to a story about Rep. Jane Harman, the reporter’s reply was blunt:

“Don’t call or e-mail us – we’ll call you if we’re interested. And if you haven’t got it yet, we’re not interested.”

Amy Miller of Red State says: “If this surprises you, you are not paying attention.”

If I was Fein’s campaign manager, I’d call up Newsweek and say, “Have I got a story for you!”

Oh wait…

    And the Dinosaur Media wonder why they’re hemorrhaging viewers/listeners/readers.

    That’s “free press” and “free speech” for the Journolistin’ airheads.
