Lazy Mainstream Media

It's been noted often that the media is a pool of lazy cretins to take their marching orders from the New York Times. If you have missed it then I just said it right there.

In an example I noted this morning CBS's Sunday Morning did a very brief profile of Master Knifemaker Bob Kramer.

Last year the New Yorker did a very nice and long profile of him:

"Bob Kramer is one of a hundred and twenty-two people in the world, and the only former chef, to have been certified in the U.S. as a Master Bladesmith."

What do you bet someone at CBS read the article and went straight to him without any other research or understanding of the craft? What do you bet that that same person considers themselves far more sophisticated and knowledgeable than that scary ignorant mass that is America?

If I am wrong I will use the CBS dodge and suggest that even if my two assertions are false it's o.k., the general notion is still completely true.

Journalists are lazy scum unless they smell an opportunity to harm Western Civilization, then they get off there ass and fly to Wassilla or wherever to rummage through dumpsters and pester the locals.
