It’s hard to say what bothers me most about what we call the mainstream media. Their bias, of course, is an evergreen, always high on the list. So is their arrogance. Their refusal to admit mistakes is galling (see CNN playing “Stupid Girls” song to lead into Sarah Palin segment, then with a straight face saying it was unintentional). But their mindless lack of originality – their zombie-like repetition of what some other journalist just said or wrote – at this moment, tops my list.
