Why Is the Liberal Main Stream Media So Bumbling This Year?
Why Is the Liberal Main Stream Media So Bumbling This Year?
Easy.
For 40 years, they had no rebuttal. They only had to be barely competent at their game, and they won their bracket with a "bye." Now, without the institutional rigor needed to engage in actual debate and argument, the MSM has been blindsided this election year by a four-pronged foe: The Internet; AM Radio; Fox News; and, frankly, agenda-setter Drudge.
The MSM used to get to set the lunch and water cooler agenda, and filter all the facts. Now, simply put, at least one person at lunch or at the cooler has the other side. And, the medium that delivers that message is more comprehensive than TV.
The Left MSM has never had to engage in actual, non-gamed competitions. So they are rusty. And when they resort to the tricks that have worked so well for 40 years, they do not take into consideration that there will be a resounding rebuttal. And their inability to foresee those rebuttals, or to deal with them at an appropriate level, is what makes the liberal MSM seem so damned bumbling this cycle.
