Applesauce
Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don’t say you weren’t warned. By the way, this blog’s name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, “All politics is applesauce.” |

Walter Pincus of The Washington Post, admitting that his is “a romantic and unfashionable view of journalism,” offers a SCATHING INDICTMENT of the American news media in general and newspapers in particular for “chasing the false idols of fame and fortune.”

“Our press is not protected in order to merely echo the views of government officials, opposition politicians, and so-called experts. Too often, though, that’s what occurs.”
Truth.
This is why the people have lost so much faith in journalists. Failure to hold our officials feet to the fire when it was most needed.

I find it rather hypocritical that Mr. Pincus failed to make even a casual reference to the obvious Leftist bias in the media. However, he had absolutely NO problem in blaming Republicans. I wonder if he bothered to consider the possibility that the public is not blind to such Liberally-slanted journalism, such as he just authored, and will no longer support it. That might explain the decline in circulation as much, if not more, than any other reason.
