Howard Kurtz - Journalists, Glorying in Obama’s Moment

But aren’t media people supposed to resist this kind of hyperventilating?

I might have some respect for Kurtz, but for the fact he didn’t say anything about all the media people - including those on his own paper, and, in fact, himself as well, hyperventilating for Obama all through the campaign.

This is just the pathetic effort of a tired, outdated, partisan Democrat hack trying to salvage some self respect after his entire industry leaped deep into the tank for Barack Obama.

Screw him, and screw them. Rupert Murdoch weighs in:

“Mr. Rather and his defenders are not alone,” he continued. “A recent American study reported that many editors and reporters simply do not trust their readers to make good decisions. Let’s be clear about what this means. This is a polite way of saying that these editors and reporters think their readers are too stupid to think for themselves.”

That is Howard Kurtz and his pals in a nutshell. One might ask, however, that if Americans are stupid, how they got that way - but if one did that, one might end up pointing a very large and very accusatory finger directly at Kurtz and company.

And we certainly can’t have that, can we?
