So I've got to ask. Legolas Send a noteboard - 27/08/2018 11:36:07 PM

Why is it that every other American conservative has this unhealthy obsession with 'the media', which is always to be understood as 'the NYT, WaPo and CNN' because the WSJ and Fox aren't liberal and hence don't count as real media? This whiny Calimero complex got old a long time ago, and it's gotten to the point where my eyes start to glaze over the second I read the words 'the media'.

Hence, you can imagine what I made of this particular article. The left-wing media liked John McCain better when he supported left-wing policies - wow, what a shocker. And they liked him less when he was running against a Democrat and trying to appeal to all parts of the Republican party - another shocker. Next you're going to tell me that the right-wing media treated him pretty much the other way around at those respective occasions? No way!

Sorry, Ben Shapiro, but as soon as your site became so popular, you became part of 'the media'. And if you feel that your stupid generalizations about 'the media' don't accurately describe yourself or the Daily Wire, well, guess who else they don't accurately describe?
