And while I can't speak for every locality, at the

federal level, the media is not doing its job.

Tragically, our national media now sees itself as part

of the government, and as a consequence, the media's

mission to hold institutions accountable has been

dropped entirely in favor of relentless agendapushing.

Even more insidious is the coordination.

Across a vast landscape that includes, but is not

limited to

ABCCBSNBCCNNMSNBCPBSNPRPoliticoWashington

Post LosAngelesTimes

ESPNUnivisionNewYorkTimesBostonGlobe, all the

same stories are covered in the same way (if you

disagree, watch the ABCCNNCBSNBC Sunday shows):

Central government is not suspect, it is good; Democrats

are virtuous, multiculturalism trumps e pluribus unum,

and anyone who disagrees is backwards, selfish, and

racist. The elite media has accomplished this through its

own professional blacklist.

If you are a journalist who does not subscribe to this,

you are Out, and even that is not enough. As a capital "J"

journalist or pundit (this includes most every so-called

conservative employed in the elite media), you must

prove yourself by using the approved language

("undocumented immigrant") and the approved approach

towards those who do not hold the approved opinions

(Christianity=bigotry, border security=racism, refusal to

violate your religious conscience=hate). Moreover, not

covered by this fiercely-policed clique are stories that

contradict the media's over-arching agenda. And by

"covered" I do not mean rote coverage.
