Well, The MSM also Views Robert Byrd as the "Conscience of the Senate" and Michael Jackson as the "King of Pop"

Andrew McCarthy on the MSM's new sage of judicial nominations:

It would be hard to parody one of the mainstream media's self-absorbed, pricelessly shallow, soul-searching sessions. You know, the ones where editors and other executives wonder aloud about how it could possibly be that subscriptions and ratings — and with them, influence — are plummeting. These are already too hilarious, however unintentionally so: set pieces in which this or that latest coverage debacle is plumbed, the soul searchers determine that their own hearts are still pure after all, and pronounce with breath-catching relief that if there's a disconnect between them and the public, well, surely we need a new public.

But if anyone really wants to know why the MSM is fading fast, consider one of the most recent classic examples: The decision by the Washington Post to run an op-ed by Ted Kennedy, of all people, about how we need to avoid the rank partisanship of a "divisive battle" over a new Supreme Court justice to replace the departing Sandra Day O'Connor. About how President Bush needs to be more like — are you sitting down for this? — President Reagan in wisely choosing a nominee to the high court.

We would need to dig up Yasser Arafat for an op-ed on fixing the "peace process" to concoct something this rich.

Don't tempt them.

Not that they're biased or anything.
