The Kamikaze Media

John Nolte wrote a good piece at Big Hollywood titled, Mainstream Media Fears Where Stories They Ignore May Lead. I think the article was inspired by the interview with Charlie Gibson on the Don & Roma Morning Show.

Gibson was glaringly disingenuous when he was asked about the ACORN corruption which had been covered on the Internet as well as FoxNews for at least 2 days prior to the inquiry.

Gibson said he wasn't familiar with the story. Huh? Wouldn't you assume that most big time news anchors are lifetime news junkies to the core of their being? How could any self-respecting newsy NOT know about a story that explosive? So explosive was the story that the Census Bureau had just disassociated itself from ACORN. That in itself was big news!

Could it have had something to do with the fact that his knowledge of it and failure to cover it would put him smack dab in bed with the radical leftist agenda of the White House? He couldn't admit that now, could he! Far better to make believe the story escaped him.

We, in the New Media have been referring to the MSM as the Lamestream Media, the Lap Dog Media and various other descriptive names testifying to our distrust of them and their ultimate irrelevance. Rush aptly refers to them as the State Run Media which seems to be the most accurate portrayal up to now, but Nolte, in his above linked piece, because of their self-destructive ways, thinks we should start calling them the "Kamikaze Media."

You know, it does have a nice ring to it! Be sure to read Nolte's article; it's a good one.

I'm thinking Charlie Gibson should be the new poster boy for the Kamikaze Media.
