Journalists: “Progressive Missionaries”

CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JUNE 16, 2021

         THE WALL STREET JOURNAL IS A REAL NEWSPAPER. YESTERDAY’S COLUMN BY WILLIAM MCGURN WAS OUTSTANDING. IN IT, MCGURN SPOKE OF THE CONDITION OF WHAT PASSES FOR MODERN JOURNALISM.

            HE WROTE: “ALL DATA AND FACTS, ALL JUDGMENT ABOUT STORIES AND THE PEOPLE WHO PRODUCE THEM, ARE SUBORDINATE TO THE MISSION. IN ONE OF THE MORE IRONIC DEVELOPMENTS OF THIS AGE OF PROGRESSIVE HEGEMONY, THIS IS CALLED ‘MORAL CLARITY.’

         “AS CNN WAS BEING RESTORED TO ITS FULL COMPLIMENT OF PROGRESSIVE MNISSIONARIES” (HE’S SPEAKING OF JEFFREY TOOBIN, THAT NETWORK’S LEGAL ANALYST – “THE SAME MESSAGE IN SERVICE OF THE SAME MISSION WAS MORE POWERFULLY CONVEYED BY THE AUTHORITIES WHO EVERY YEAR EMERGE FROM THE TEMPLES OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TO BESTOW ON ANOTHER CROP OF JOURNALISTS THE MANTLE OF JOSEPH PULITZER.”

            IN FACT, THERE IS LITTLE NEWS ANYMORE, ONLY PROPAGANDA. THE NEW YORK TIMES, THE WASHINGTON POST, THE MAJOR NETWORKS ARE ABOUT ENABLING PRESIDENT BIDEN, IGNORING OR EXPLAINING HIS MISTAKES, SUCKING-UP TO ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS AND PROMOTING POLICIES THAT CONTRIBUTE TO OPEN BORDERS, HIGHER TAXES AND RISING GAS PRICES. IT’S SAD AND HARMS THE COUNTRY. I’M CAL THOMAS.
