Here We Go Some More

And over at The American Spectator, The Prowler takes a look at the twin implosions of CBS and the Kerry campaign. Both of these are now going down in flames, and for similar reasons. Neither seem to be able to face the truth. Neither wants to face the facts. And that is at the heart of the matter. Because the American people are a generally honest bunch who, as a result, look for honesty in others. And whether it is a news organization or a political party, honesty is the gold coin by which one judges. The American people still think in terms of good and evil, right and wrong, and specific ethical standards. They may not be tenured at an elite university philosophy department, but they are not stupid either. They want standards of right and wrong to govern the institutions which they look to, whether political, cultural or economic

As the weeks to the upcoming election tick down, we are finding less and less honesty in both The Elite Media Monoculture as well as the Democratic party and its candidate. And indeed, these twin failings are quite closely related, for the media and the Democrats are tied together at the hip. Where one goes, the other must follow. The Democrats want their power back and will now lie, cheat and steal to get it. The Elite Media Monoculture is also beginning to sense its power slipping away and has joined forces in the open with their political counterparts in the Democratic party as a means to their joint ends. For with the Democrats in power, the media will also be back in the game. But if the Democrats lose in November, then they will probably be out of power for a generation. And with the rise of the new media, which is more closely related to the Republican/Libertarian philosophy, the old media must thereby decline.

Like the Democrats, The Elite Media Monoculture has no agenda other than leftism. And leftism is a dying ideology. The media and the Democrats have not yet given up on the Great Project to bring socialism to America, but their time is running out. Not just because the leftist baby boomers are in their latter years, but because the younger generations are not tied to the failed 19th century ideology socialism/communism. The true believers are old and getting older, and there are fewer and fewer to take their place at the barricades. They have no more time to bide if they are to see their paradise on earth come to America. They can feel their own mortality in the wind and the utopian prize slipping from their desperate grasp. And of course desperate people will do just about anything.
