Today’s journalists are often little more than left-wing thugs

One of the more interesting things about 2021 is seeing which well-known left-wing people are true civil libertarians – that is, they actually believe in the Constitution, although they still have a very different vision for America than conservatives do. The two most surprising ones (for me, at least) are Naomi Wolf and Glenn Greenwald. Both of them have been staunch leftists from the get-go, but both are deeply concerned by the constitutional breakdowns we’re seeing in America.That’s why, if you’re going to read one article today that isn’t already on American Thinker’s site, I recommend Glenn Greenwald’s look at how major media companies aggressively target ordinary people.

 

To the extent media types thought of themselves as knights on white horses, they used to see their role as attacking the powerful while protecting and defending the little guy. Indeed, as old Hollywood movies showed to the point of cliche, journalists came from the “little guy,” blue collar class

 

 Old-time reporters were scrappy, working-class men and women who used their bully pulpit to inveigh against wealth and power. They were patriots, but they felt that their job was to keep a gimlet eye on the government to ensure that the Constitution and laws of the United States applied to all.

 

Today, journalists are graduates of pricey schools. They’re not scrappy, working-class people. Instead, they’re whiny, entitled, privileged, and anti-American. They believe that their bully pulpit is to be used to advance a neo-socialist ideology that puts their rarefied, college-educated middle class cohorts in charge of America for the good of all the little black and brown people and the punishment of all those blue collar white people who still think they’re entitled to a piece of the American pie. 

 

Glenn Greenwald has written an epic and scathing take down of these spoiled, vindictive leftist journalists. He makes an important point, which is that they routinely attack ordinary people who don’t align with their political views, and then, when those ordinary people fight back, these journalism school graduates use that same bully pulpit to play the victim card..........To Read More.....
