Did you see any of this reported on CNN? Of course not. Because that would have endangered something the media prizes above everything else, including truth: access. In two decades the mainstream media has degenerated from impartial collectors and arbiters of what was news – in other words, reporters – to skulking curs, haunting the tables of potentates and movie stars and begging for scraps. No wonder they get kicked all the time.
Ouch.
