“They’re not referees”, writes Brent Bozell, referring to the liberal media blowhards who have become so obvious in their bias against conservatives that we all need to re-think how we read, watch, and listen to the news.
If anyone is still being sold the civics-book baloney that our national press corps is just the referee of our democracy, the disinterested moderator of our national debate, the media’s performance in this election year has just blown that concept to smithereens in their collective and transparent desire to deny George W. Bush another four years.
To the uncommitted voter, let us state directly: The media are partisan players. They see their role as journalists as not to inform, but to persuade. They aim to make society better and believe the great society is a society drained of its poisonous vestiges of conservatism. They aim to elect liberal Democrats to office, pretending all the while that these liberals are really moderates, and even—don’t laugh—fierce warriors for our national defense.
The media do not believe in an “axis of evil” in the world, or a “war on terror.” This, they deeply believe, is right-wing fear-mongering. In the 1990s, they did not crusade against the evils of al-Qaeda, but did crusade against our real mortal enemies: Microsoft, the tobacco companies, gun manufacturers, talk-radio hosts, the House impeachment managers and independent counsel Kenneth Starr.
