Ben Stein takes on one of the crown jewels of The Elite Media Monoculture in this article from The American Spectator. It seems that back in the old days of media glory, when the Angry Left was fighting against America, the Vietnam war and all things Republican, Time magazine had a communist correspondent on their payroll. And now the graying, America hating journalists are celebrating the life of a spy who sent thousands to their deaths and helped to enslave a nation under the boot of communist thugs.
An article in "The New Yorker" paints a rosy picture of this communist spy and at the same time shows us the woozy-good-times-feeling that permeate Angry Leftist groupthink at the thought of communist victory and Amercian defeat. For as Ben Stein points out, there is no mention of the misery, death and suffering caused by the Time magazine communist spy or even a recognition that it should be an issue. A nation was enslaved and thousands of Americans died in that conflict, but to The Elite Media Monoculture the most important thing is to celebrate a member of "the cause" who helped to bring The Great Socialist Utopia just a little bit closer.
For The Angry Left, the breaking of eggs is just part of the plan.
