Big Media big fade is now under way


Even as its readership shrinks and revenues plummet, Big Media,  allied with its affiliates in government, the extreme Green movement and the Democrat Party tries its best to assert it’s not dying.  Its ceaseless war against the American consumer is nowhere better exemplified that the crusade the Virginian Pilot has waged against energy derived from coal, nuclear power, and oil.  With all the certainty of high school sophomores smoking weed, it inveighs daily against cheap energy and for ultra-expensive solar and wind, careless of the financial effect on the average American.  And if their wishes ever come to pass, you can be sure that they will write endless editorials blaming others.  The good news is that in a few years there will be few who will read it and even fewer who will care.

UPDATE:  Gerard Van der Leun Liars for Hire correctly identifies the newsman in a quote that's as ancient as Sir Henry Wotton:
'An ambassador is said to be a man of virtue sent abroad to tell lies for the advantage of his country ; a news-writer is a man without virtue, who writes lies at home for his own profit.'"
