Journalists Are Clueless (To How Long And How Badly They've Been Damaged)

"When [Christopher Hitchens] writes that Mr. Clinton maintained 'a quasi-governmental or para-state division devoted exclusively to the bullying and defamation of women,' he puts his finger on the most important element of the Clinton political machine. When he writes that 'moral and political blackmail' has 'silenced and shamed the liberal herd,' he shows how a personality cult has caused the media to abandon its duty. When he says that The Nation has dishonored the memory of McCarthy’s victims by comparing their actions to the 'contemptible evasions of a cheap crook,' he demonstrates how the President has damaged one great liberal principle after another."
