You should understand that my disgust with the media is not based on their political preference. It is the hideous arrogance and elitism that prompts them to refer to Splinx and Frank as "trash" who deserve only to be spoon fed the information that they believe is important.

I am aware of this arrogance first hand in the Beltway circuit. I have attended National Press Club cocktail parties and heard the arrogance and bias spewed.

An example of the arrogance is Dan Rather's deliberate refusal to mention McAuliffe's Global Crossing windfall. This was the 4th largest bankruptcy in history and McAuliffe has been mentioned in connection with the story by almost every source except Rather. There is yet no evidence that McAuliffe did anything wrong but Rather's refusal to report the connection is management of the news when he is expected to report. This is not the first time that Rather has made descisions based on what he perceives to be important.

The proof is in the pudding, I always say; opinions don't make it so. If they are what I believe them to be their audience will continue to dwindle and they will become irrelevent.
