Paul Mulshine, Authorized Journalist

The type of person who can't even keep track of the number of times the letter "N" appears in a two-syllable word is not the type of person who is going to offer great insight into complex issues. [More]
I'm professional and you're not. And you can't even pronounce "pundit."

So there.

My, aren't we sophisticated and superior?

That must be why I've compiled an entire category of "Authorized Journalist" examples detailing bias and ignorance about the gun issue that is repeated over and over and...

And tell me that's the only issue where they push an agenda and get it so consistently wrong. You know, what this elitist characterizes as "doing what we in fact do amazingly well, which is to quickly analyze and report on complex public issues."

You credentialed flacks for the police state had your chance and blew whatever trust you had along with the establishment rulers you serve. Watchdogs turned into lapdogs a long time ago.

And now the fascist dinosaur propagandists want a bailout? At our expense?

Why not? It's been a public/private partnership all my life anyway, at least ideologically. Just one thing: As long as we're considering a form of national socialist journalism, can we call the resulting enterprise something like "Der Stürmer"?

  1. The sad thing is that Mulshine is the token "conservative" in the NJ Star Ledger newspaper.

    I suppose by New Jersey standards he might be conservative, but during my temporary exile in NJ I've found his articles are little more than one of the following:

    1.) Bleating like a sheep (taxpayer) begging not to face the shears.

    2.) Advocating more and bigger government, just not the Democrat kind.

  2. "The problem is that printing a hard copy of a publication packed with solid, interesting reporting isn't a guarantee of economic success in the age of instant news." Hmm same thing happened to the music industry, self-inflicted of course. Bailout?

  3. There once was a man from Pundit
    Who had a strong, sharp and fun wit
    When he took off his glasses
    We could see both his asses
    Now we know how he punned it

    Technology has a good R-value for insulating AJs from criticism.


    Here's the comment I tried to submit:

    "If 'prophesized' is a word, then so is 'pundint'."

    Prophesized?

    Uncle Remus?
