The Centrist Media Thread #1 For 12/12/12: Schooling Centrist Media
Attention all journalists everywhere, especially American Beltway centrist journalists who are smart enough to just report the facts instead of do "both sides" stenography: One Thomas Mann has a message for you, again.
Do your job!
That's what he had to tell Chuck Todd directly Tuesday morning, as him and Norm Ornstein continue to make some inside the Beltway upset for basically calling the Republicans for being the nutcases that they have become as a collective whole and messing up the Beltway centrist elite's lovely "popcorn watching" that kicks liberals and the underdog in American society down.
Now Mann and Ornstein are irrelevant now because their past DC Beltway elitism has caught back up with them instead of being truth-tellers overall, as more "cooler" and "hipper" centrist and Republicans who only care about the wealthy in this nation have passed them, whether on the Murdoch nutcase media enterprise or the Breitbarts, Norquists, Eric Ericksons, and unstable people in this world.
Nevertheless, while others in the old Beltway elite have stayed quiet or continue to treat Republicans as legitimate, Mann and Ornstein have had enough with the nutcases exposing how ridiculous conservatives have always been and making the right less sophisticated in half-truthing and outright mendacity (online has also helped that too in a major fashion, of course).
As we all know in the rational, political American world since their noteworthy column in April's The Washington Post column calling out the media for giving the unstable people leeway, Mann and Ornstein are viewed as pariahs with the capital's elite despite still being well respected with those same people.
Though the Chuck Todds, David Gregorys, Candy Crowleys, Martha Raddatzs or anyone in major Beltway/Manhattan news media in this country will continue to go with treating both sides like they are legit, Mann let it be known to Todd directly what the primary job is for any journalist to do for the public:
And you can only get the journalism required for American society by getting people who know what they are talking about and are not scared by interests or immature news bosses.
But frankly Todd nor any of his centrist news colleagues in the Beltway/Manhattan elite media will understand or accept their wrong and incomplete journalism as something that needs to change.

"It's not to cover and use sort of an artificial ballot. It's to remember your job, to tell the truth and report it as accurately as you can, even if it might embarrass you because it tends to favor one party over the other."Todd had the nerve to falsely equate liberal activists trying to "delegitimize the press" with conservative nutcases, when liberal activists are actually trying to make it better by getting people who actually know what they are talking about as centers of journalism.
