The Self-Loathing

[Commentary] Huffington has been thinking some more about CNN hiring Tony Snow as a commentator. Coming in the wake of Newsweek's hiring of Karl Rove, and the New York Times' hiring of Bill Kristol, the mainstream media's embrace of these unabashed propagandists has revealed a self-loathing streak a mile wide. Have they been so cowed by the Right's relentless branding of them as "liberal" that they feel compelled to show they're not sleeping with the enemy? And make no mistake, Rove, Kristol, and Snow are the enemies -- of honesty, truth, facts, reality, and the public's right to know. The fanatical right has put a modern media twist on Lenin: "Self-loathing liberals will hand us the microphone with which we will bludgeon them."
