Buck Sexton on the News Media’s self-obsession

Patriot Retort: I rarely read The Hill – mostly because they employ the worst kind of click-baity nonsense tweets known to mankind.

But every now and then I stumble across an editorial there that has me nodding my head like a dashboard doggie.

And today’s column by Buck Sexton is an excellent example.

I mean the headline alone is worth a half dozen nods: In the age of Trump, the press just can’t stop playing the victim.

I’ve been saying for some time that the news media’s biggest problem is their obsession with making the news about themselves. For heaven’s sake, how many airtime hours were wasted on journalists’ handwringing and navel-gazing because one CNN reporter was barred from one White House event?

As a result of the news media’s self-obsession, they’ve become impotent and ineffectual.

The truth is, incessant whining about how your talked about is not “journalism.”

The press is not a victim. And not everything is about them.

And Buck Sexton nails all that in his column today at the Hill.

Here’s a peek. But definitely read the whole thing.  more

  1. Adults are back in charge at the White House and the toddlers are having a tantrum. Send them to bed with no dessert a few nights in a row and things should get better.

  2. I can’t stand Brian Stelter! The first thing that runs through my head every time I see him is, “You can’t convince me that guy doesn’t suck di@k!”

    I’m not being bigoted I’m just a gay man who’s not a victim or leftist.
