A few days ago, I got an email from a friend in the Main Stream Media a.k.a. MSM (yeah, I still have them) warning me to stay out of the Trayvon Martin-George Zimmerman controversy. He said: "Both sides are spinning out of control."
Of course, by this he meant that the Left was spinning out of control: only the Left has access to the MSM.
Now They Have Come a.k.a. spun out of control For John Derbyshire — i,e, National Review Editor Rich Lowry has been terrorized into firing him.
This makes me think: did my MSM friend belong to some version of the notorious "Journolist" ListServe group? — which was in effect a conspiracy among Leftists to get Obama elected.
During the Obama coronation, one Spencer Ackerman told his fellow Journolistas:
What is necessary is to raise the cost on the right of going after the left. In other words, find a rightwinger’s [sic] and smash it through a plate-glass window. Take a snapshot of the bleeding mess and send it out in a Christmas card to let the right know that it needs to live in a state of constant fear.
There’s obviously a Leftist three-line whip on the Trayvon Martin case. Otherwise professional token conservatives like Lowry and David Frum would not be toeing the line.
