This important post by Jake Lybbert over at our friends at newsbusters.org destroys the excuses the Old Media gave in their effort to protect John Edwards by not covering the story. More and more Americans realize the Democratic National Committee and elite Old Media are one in the same. Does anyone doubt that you could replace the leadership of the Democratic National Committee with the editors, producers, and journalists of the elite Old Media without skipping a beat in the policies of the Democratic Party. Or the reverse. If Howard Dean owned ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN or The New York Times, would their coverage be any different?
The responsibility of the press in a free society is to challenge political parties, not shill for them. Some good news: more and more Americans see their political bias as this key poll from Rasmussen shows.
Thank Goodness for New Media.
