Dead: American Journalism

See what journalism looks like America? It is not sycophants promoting themselves as "fair and balanced," it's research-based analysis that seeks truth, and then attacks breakdowns in the political system.

CNN, Fox, etc. etc. YOU ARE AWFUL.

Give me PBS, BBC, and a resurrected Russert.

"The Republican Party is a dead rotting carcass with a few decrepit old leaders stumbling around like zombies in a horror version of Weekend With Bernie, handcuffed to a corpse." -- Larry Hunter, a fired Clinton economic advisor to Jack Kemp advisor.

Bruce Bartlett, a middle-level official in the Reagan and George H.W. Bush administrations, expressed "disgust with a Republican Party that still does not see how badly George W. Bush has misgoverned this country" -- echoing his scathing 2006 book, "Impostor: How George W. Bush Bankrupted America and Betrayed the Reagan Legacy."
