Unaccountable

The MSM is the most influential institution in the US that is accountable to no one but themselves (other than the Bush administration, but that's another post.) They dominate broadcast and print media, and they are completely out of self-control.

After allowing themselves to be baited into complicity with conservative administrations since the 1980s, they completely failed to serve their institutional function in the lead up to the Iraq War. I don’t think I even need to provide links to document my case on that subject.

Two weeks ago, they were exposed to be vulnerable (or worse, complicit) with a straight-up government propaganda effort, which I posted here.

Shockingly, none of the networks has seen fit to cover their own incompetent failures.

From the blatant sexism expressed almost routinely against Hillary, to the circus sideshow they have made of Wright’s assault on Obama, they have disgraced themselves and committed the cardinal sin of journalism: they have become the story.
