#1 I have a theory that all of the anti-catholic reporting is one of the factors that has pushed Massachusetts into the Repubican camp. All of those Irish and Portuguese Catholics don't take kindly to the treatment their devout faith receives at the hands of the Times and the Globe. Of course with all of the Irish, et.al., the Times runs the risk of pushing that constituency into Republican hands.

The left is becoming increasingly irrational and self destructive. Much as a person with a personality disorder eventually melts down because they can't keep all the lies and misrepresentations of fact straight, the libs and their "gatekeepers" in the media are finding it well neigh impossible to keep the dirty little secrets of their manifest corruptness and incompetence under the rug.

#2 Republicans should mount an anti-media campaign and their weapon of choice should be humor. They can tell the media that their secret is out: Americans know, they should say, that you're just a dysfunctional liberal family the likes of which isn't usually seen outside Hollywood.

They should. But will they? McCain sure didn't. I'm afraid that some of these Republicans are just as corrupt as the donks.

#4 The left is becoming increasingly irrational and self destructive.

In the case of the NYT, Pinch is protected by a special class of stock (owned only by his family) that effectively makes him unaccountable to the other stockholders (even as his company slides toward bankruptcy).

Right now the only things holding up the NYT are the dozens of small town newspapers they've aquired. They still enforce decent reporting standards and have decent ad revenue.

Similarly the WAPO is primarily a testing company (I believe they own the SATs) with a newspaper on the side.
