Their readership/viewership declines every year, in part because they’re widely and quite correctly perceived as politically skewed Democrat. But, as usual, the Old Media is deaf to the criticism, so they’re suffering no shame at their announced plans to staff BB’s upcoming "world tour" big time, while continuing to shoo Mac away as, uh, too old, too boring, too Republican.
Afterall, now that the Iraq campaign is essentially over (no thanks to them or the Dems), they can safely leave the Green Zone hotel to have a look around as BB sings his get-out-now tune. The Old Media poobahs also gave preferential treatment to John Kerry, their ersatz war hero, in 2004, and we all saw how well that worked out–for him and for them–but my guess is they really didn’t catch on. They’re insulated by their exorbitant pay and the adulation of their peers, which makes them pretty slow when it comes to reality.
