Motus Mentis

The New York Times has a spot of bother in the PR department today: its chief political editor is in hot water for blatant anti-Semitism.

There isn’t a peep about this at the paper’s website (not surprising, I suppose, given that this is the same rag that bent over backwards to cover up the Holocaust) — or, for example, on CNN. Can you imagine what the reaction would be if it were Fox News’s political editor instead?

There’s no hypocrisy here, though, because the mainstream media are only following a simple and consistent principle, one that I first pointed out in the spring of last year:

Defend your people, always. Attack the enemy with whatever comes to hand, always.
