Mistakes of the LiberalMedia
By encinoman
Yes, we know things are very bad now in the media; today&;s Mediabistro bucket of cheer talks of layoffs at Newsweek, NPR and the death of local newspapers.
But that&;s no excuse for making ridiculous, egregious errors like mispelling &;Montecito&; or inventing a new car, the &;Ford Malibu.&; But those are innocent mistakes compared to not checking the background of spokespeople before they&;re interviewed, or bowing to political correctness.
Today, NPR&;s Marketplace had a long interview with Henry Blodget about whether he saw this &;bubble&; coming. Yes, the same Henry Blodget who was fined $4 million and banned for life from the securities industry is now a respectable commentator, like notorious anti-Semite Amiri Baraka this summer.
But when a host of a KCRW-FM show dares to compare firing someone for donating money to an anti-gay marriage cause to the Blacklist, he&;s slapped down by the station manager.
