Journalists are Pusillanimous

Journalists aren't what they used to be, if they ever were. My understanding is that in the bad old days, newspapers were expected to be partisan and biased, and everybody knew it.  Some newspapers were Democrat, some Republican. Some were pro-slavery, some abolitionists, etc.  They all claimed to be right, but none that I know of claimed to be objective reporters of the facts.  Funny thing is, back then they were closer to being objective than they are now, when they all claim to be objective but almost entirely are just mouthpieces for the establishment.  Now, of course, they include nonprint versions like TV and radio stations, but the principle is the same.  One issue they're all marching in lockstep on is Michele Bachmann.  Now, I certainly don't agree with a lot of her stuff, and her embarrassing worship of Israel is even worse than most of the candidates, but she seems to be the only one of them to have said anything worthwhile about the immigration mess.  Showing a startling awareness of pre-Reagan history, which to most candidates seems to have faded into mystery except for icons like FDR, MLK, and the sainted Lincoln, she's pointed out that we had a fairly sane immigration policy up until LBJ, who is surely a trusty in Hell right now, bollixed it up to where it may now be beyond repair.  In short, our pre-Lyndon policy attempted to keep the country's ethnic balance stable, so it wouldn't turn into a completely different country.  LBJ changed all that, and now we're turning into a Balkanized third-world country.

The "journalists" at the Washington Post were horrified by such talk, naturally, since they're with the destroy-America program heart and soul.  Peter Brimelow writes about their smear piece HERE.
