Howard Kurtz: 'The Media Man-Crush on John Roberts'
Here's a headline you likely never expected to see at the perilously liberal Daily Beast: "The Media Man-Crush on John Roberts, Conservative Who Saved Obamacare."
Inside Howard Kurtz's surprising piece, readers were treated to even more inconvenient truths about today's media:
One moment he is the bête noire of the left, a right-wing legal hack who lied about being a neutral umpire, and the next he is a profile in courage, rising above petty partisanship to do the right thing.
Is this a classic case of what many on the right carp about—that conservatives are depicted as having “grown” and “evolved” only when they move to the left?
In some ways, sure...But make no mistake: much of the MSM is in gushing mode.
Kurtz then cited the New York Times, Politico, and the New Republic as perfect examples of such gushing.
Surprisingly, he chose not to point his finger at any of the television networks including his own.
I guess beggars can't be choosers.

The MSM does love a traitor that can do harm to the USA. Not that they would say that outloud, but that's what they do love.

Yahoo headline something like "Era of Roberts Court Begins".
As if Roberts' previous seven years did not occur. Only when decisions agreeable to the Left does anything count.
Frightening to think what the Left will do to historical texts. Oh wait, we altready know - the Leftist revisionist Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States: 1492-Present.
(Zinn was a neighbor and favorite hangout of Matt Damon. No wonder Damon is damaged.)
