“My reaction to that button [`Rather Biased’] and others, in part, is a button I bought yesterday that says `Yeah, I’m In The Media, Screw You!’….I do understand why a lot of people are upset with us, why we rank somewhere between terrorists and bank robbers on the approval scale. We do criticize. That’s part of our role. Our role is not just to parrot what people say, it’s to make people think. I think that sometimes I want to say to the electorate `Grow up!’”

But not at the Democrat one. Yeah, that “I want to say to the electorate `Grow up!’” bit is quite the condescending mainstream media attitude that seems to be mainlined into their souls towards the rest of us. Nice display of “Othering” (as the Left keeps accusing the Right of doing) to boot. Sneering, condescending, elites. Sad to say but they’ve built their own wall around themselves. Bonus here: “I only know one person who voted for…”
