The media don’t like the people very much
Josh Marshall is talking about xenophobia and religious hatred in the matter of the Ground Zero Mosque. Mark Halperin says similar things, but a little less overtly. Eugene Robinson talks about lies, distortions, jingoism, and xenophobia. And there are many other examples of similar writing.
A few points seem noteworthy to us. First, these writers all acknowledge that a huge majority — two-thirds — of the American people oppose the WTC area project. Second, these writers all ascribe the basest motives possible to these opponents, a completely unwarranted inference. Hell hath no fury like a MSM viewpoint scorned.
What does it say about how those in the media regard themselves that they think it is proper for them to be lecturing a supermajority of Americans, and to do so in the most insulting terms possible?

It says they think their ever-dwindling readership is stupid, that’s what is says.
