Paul Krugman: The Media Keeps Not Doing The Left's Work For Them

Kruggie the Whale Issues Proggie Whine #46: That the Press Doesn't Scream Out "You Lie!" at Every Word a Republican Speaks, Including the "A's" and "The's"

All indications are, however, that Campaign 2012 will make Campaign 2000 look like a model of truthfulness. And all indications are that the press won’t know what to do — or, worse, that they will know what to do, which is act as stenographers and refuse to tell readers and listeners when candidates lie. Because to do otherwise when the parties aren’t equally at fault — and they won’t be — would be “biased”.
Goshers! It's almost as though Truth is more complicated than a single eschatologically-minded ideology can contain! Also, that Journalists are maleducated bobo twits who couldn't form a syllogism with two premises and a conclusion.

But you knew that. (h/t: Memeorandum)
