"In practical terms, we don't control what people find out anymore, and we can't, we don't have the ability to protect the privacy of the people we're covering.." Yes, that statement just blows me away. It's an appalling admission on a par with the Sotomayor 'policy from the bench' 'misspeak', and apparently no one is ever going to call these people on the abrogation of their duties in their chosen fields.

From Wikipedia - The Washington Post: "...When the paper makes a political endorsement, the endorsements have historically been for Democratic candidates... In 2004... the Post endorsed John Kerry... Its editorial positions are mostly liberal..."
Nuff said.

The point is that the 2006 election results weren't at all so much an endorsement of Leftist dogma as a repudiation of a big-spending, big-government, in-your-face, nanny-state Right which had departed from the small-government, republican vision of America's Founders with emphasis on private property rights, free-market capitalism, and individual rights over pure democracy (which soon devolves into "a tyranny of the majority" or "mob rule").

Of course, the recent failure of the Right to adhere to its fiscally conservative roots caused millions of moderates, conservatives and libertarians to either hold their nose and vote left, or not vote at all, just to punish the then Republican congress and senate. About 63% of Americans self-identify first as fiscal conservatives, that is, they are smart enough to realize that their prosperity is the key to why life is so good here, "social" issues trail far behind prosperity, as they should.

And that, in turn, produced entire generations of people who voted left, but likely wouldn't have if they had gotten information not biased to (and by) the Left. The Left really can't make it without gimmicks like media control, because Leftist dogma doesn't stand up well to reason, logic and close scrutiny. Even those who argue that it does cannot reasonably deny that historically, Leftism has ALWAYS ended in poverty, misery and despotism for the masses.

Thank you, Jacob, for corroborating so publicly that in modern times, until the advent of the Internet, Leftist media really DID control what whole generations of people "found out".

THE DEMISE OF THE "OLD MEDIA" - A WELCOME CHANGE "...but I think that in practical terms, we don't control what people find out anymore..." -- Jacob Weisberg, editor of Slate magazine [a left-leaning media, owned by the Washington Post - see excerpts from Wikipdia below]. Wow, he really came out and said that!
