The chickens are coming home to roost now for journalists who didn’t say anything when media companies began hiring ex-intelligence and Pentagon officials in place of reporters. News outlets have become pure propaganda organs, and this was foreseeable.

Replying to @mtaibbi and @chrislhayes
Would think this is inevitable when they hire ex politicians, staffers, and bureaucrats. Culture shifts from journalism to overt politics

Its funny how rabidly CNN is anti Bernie now they see he has a chance to win. They are still all left all the time but they follow the DNC to try to reject Bernie.

Journalistic objectivity is a massive fraud & everyone knows it. Forcing journalists to force a falsehood down the throat of news consumers - that we're free of opinions - damages the credibility of journalism. Truthful journalism is much more vibrant, interesting & reliable:

it's terrible that ABC News suspended David Wright for this. a) are journalists not allowed to express a political opinion even privately? b) his comments on how TV news works are basically generic conventional wisdom https://washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/medi

Seems very reasonable and not at all offensive to compare - one could even say "equate" - the first plausible Jewish candidate for the US Presidency to a fatal virus currently infecting much of the world

Watch what they wont say to see bias:

In South Carolina over 92 percent chose not to vote for the gay guy? Early exit polling show him getting just 2 percent of the black vote. Read the NY Times and they don't even mention his gayness?
