"They hated Reagan, but adore the Clintons."

The paucity of mature judgement and analysis leads to a lack of credibility, leading to plummeting advertising revenues, leading to lower investment in quality reporting, which results in lower readership and lower ad revenues....

When does the tailspin become unrecoverable? When people can bypass the MSM through blogs and online resources.

perhaps they are paid to make these comments? (Just like the losers who post messages in the newspapers about what a fine prime minister Jean Cruton was.)

Dan Rather: "...I think you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things."

Like the Killian documents, maybe?

It's particularly surprising that Morley Safer said that when he did; it was nine days after President Reagan's death, at a time when the American people's reaction made it quite clear how beloved he was (I read a story of a restaurant full of people spontaneously standing up and coming to attention when a television showed his funeral procession). By then, most folks in the MSM were pretending that they had always loved him - the way actual Americans did.

"Few tears will be shed over the demise of the East German army, but what about East Germany’s eighty symphony orchestras, bound to lose some subsidies? Or the whole East German system, which covered everyone in a security blanket from day care to health care, from housing to education? Some people are beginning to express, if ever so slightly, nostalgia for that Berlin Wall.”
— CBS’s Bob Simon, March 16, 1990 Evening News.

“I must say I was struck by the expanse of their chests, though. They may have to put out their stats.”
— Newsweek reporter Eleanor Clift on Bill Clinton and Al Gore, CNN’s Inside Politics, July 9, 1992.

“[Rush Limbaugh] is, above all, a sophisticated propagandist, an avatar of the politics of meanness and envy....He must, like all demagogues, scare his listeners, get them to believe in conspiracy, rumor....Like Reagan, Limbaugh is neither curious nor brave; he would rather tell his audiences fairy tales than have them face the world; he would rather sneer at the weak than trouble the strong.”
— Former Washington Post reporter David Remnick in the Post’s Outlook section, February 20, 1994.

“In a nation that has entertained and appalled itself for years with hot talk on the radio and the campaign trail, the inflamed rhetoric of the ’90s is suddenly an unindicted co-conspirator in the [Oklahoma City federal building] blast.”
— Time Senior Writer Richard Lacayo, May 8, 1995.

(HAAAAAA Hahaha!!!)
Ouch! My sides just split!!!

“I must say I was struck by the expanse of their chests, though. They may have to put out their stats.”
— Newsweek reporter Eleanor Clift on Bill Clinton and Al Gore, CNN’s Inside Politics, July 9, 1992.

Al Gore's stats, 2007:
44, 56, 2

Chest with man-boobs = 44"
Waist = 56"
Butt = 2 ax handles across

Hey Eleanor... could you vet these latest stats?

The prevailing statement made by anyone who questions Democratic elites these days seems to be:

"PLEASE DON'T TAZER ME BRO"

Posted by: WL Mackenzie Redux at October 28, 2007 2:02 PM

Come on now, Bill Clinton was a very smart, moral, honest and charming man. These trusted faces on TV every night did nothing more than inform the American Public of these qualities. They along with Bill Clinton kept the American Public enlightened and between them they epitomized the feeling, morals and integrity of Democratic America, just ask Monica.

I wonder how many of the media would actually enjoy living in a Communist state? Perhaps more than half - Communist governments tend to be *relatively* kindly toward media hacks and dullards. They would get more than their fair share of perks - and starve more slowly than the rest.

dont be on about Al Gores dimensions. he appears to be a carbon based lifeform , not the android he was before. I think he is single handedly trying to become a large carbon sink. Bless Al Gore and all he eats.

Bill Clinton and his pasty white thighs. - made for a good ditty on Letterman.

John Lewis - thinking about your comment, the boobs in the media do live in a communist state -self-enforcing groupthink of their own construct with captitalist level salaries and trappings so far, until the internet came along. Like the once infallible on all issues Catholic church has had come to grips with, their pews are empty, you can't instruct the masses any more.

Here's hoping as capitalists that we can starve financially the MSM and/or mock them into oblivion.

“It’s short of soap, so there are lice in the hospitals. It’s short of pantyhose, so women’s legs go bare. It’s short of snowsuits, so babies stay home in the winter....The problem isn’t communism; nobody even talked about communism this week. The problem is shortages.”
— Commentator John Chancellor talking about the Soviet Union on NBC Nightly News, August 21, 1991.

The preceding comment is something to behold.
There is this supposedly educated knucklehead talking on TV and its like, the points he introduces somehow escaped him, the idiot comes up with altogether different conclusion that a kid in high school would recognize as illogical and could possibly be qualified as being on cutting edge of insane.
One would like to remind this idiot that the shortages are a result of the system, not the system being a result of the shortages. And if nobody talked about communism that week, then maybe they should have.

I worked in Russia (Siberian Oilfields) '93 thru '96. The result left by communism was stunning. I toured a hospital, and the lack of supplies and equipment was sad. As you say Bolshevik, its not the shortage, but the system which creates it. Thanks for digging up those comments.
