   Q: “What is it with all these old moonbats resurfacing again? ”

   A: 1968 + 40 = 2008, Forty years in the wilderness coming to an end. And they can (desperately)sense that this is it.

   Gee Mr. Peabody, I don’t want to use the wayback machine to visit the 60′s. Too many smelly hippies!

   It’s not like these people have been sorely missed; that there is a huge, gaping, insatiable demand for their services, one that only they can fill. Obscurity becomes them — why don’t they return to it?

   In other words, the clowns that have been holding the fort in their absence have been hired full-time.

   Services no longer required, guys and whats.

   When there is money involved, getting their name in the news, plus cameras to smile at, the moonbats will always come crawling out of their holes. They think they are revelant…which shows their lack of reality.

   From the linked article:

   The problem is that in Modern Journalism “freedom of the press” is not about the freedom of all Americans to speak and publish their thoughts, or even about Americans at all. It is all about them — the freedom of journalists themselves, from whatever country they come from, to do whatever they want to do. In fact, she was condemning losses among journalists from Al Jazeera and Abu Dhabi TV, which are based in countries that do not even pay lip service to “freedom of the press.”

   That is a wonderful summation of what American journalism has devolved into, squandering its inheritance from John Peter Zenger and Thomas Paine to wallow instead in a toxic cocktail of self-absorption, arrogance, partisanship and willful ignorance. Foley is one of the worst representatives of the type of person too commonly found among the ranks of reporters, editors and producers.

   I try not to look at my past in terms of regret, but looking at what’s become of the profession over the quarter-century since I graduated with my journalism degree, it’s hard to feel any other emotion when reflecting on my choice of major.

   It’s also a reminder of why I think that Michelle and others like her in the alternative media are the edge of the wedge in building a new, “Fifth Estate” upon the ruins of the Fourth – and in so doing will take freedom of the press back to its roots.

   Zenger and Paine didn’t need J-school degrees to have a significant impact on journalism itself or society as a whole. Michelle shows us the same thing every day. In a way, perhaps she’s the real “Audacity of Hope” for what’s otherwise been a dying profession.

    … and a strong chance she’ll get elected too.. for the union that leans left.. what mattered was her narrative.. not her credibility..

    much in the same case as Dan Rather and Mary Mapes (I think that was her name, the memogate story producer… ) ended up with a Pulitzer for some other story.. almost as a consolation prize..
