Why the Media Are Copping Flak

Several media people are expressing outrage that media, all of a sudden, are experiencing open dislike for them in public. Mihingarangi Forbes is one such liberal media hand-wringer: And Henry Cooke: And Jason Walls tweeted up a storm about the tennis ball attacks: Then followed that up with a hand-wringing

Today’s Messages from the MSM
