From the brilliant talk radio pundit and blogger Hugh Hewitt, of course:
Ghosting for Les
Check out this one juicy taste of the brutally frank "speech," but definitely read the whole wonderful thing!

[...]... We aren't losing the audience--we are driving the audience away!

Ask yourself why, and don't tell me it is because we don't have a bureau in Vienna. It's because we don't have a clue. We aren't the news anymore. We are the echo chamber of the center-left establishment of America. We are seminar material for j-schools. We are well-paid, well-educated yes-men to Manhattan and Beltway elitism, and guess what, America hates us.

Yeppers, I hate them and you know what else?
I don't believe hardly anything they say and haven't for quite some time.
The only "news" coverage of late that could be considered credible was in the few days right after the 9/11 attacks, during the "March Up to Baghdad" because their reporters were implanted with the military and during the week of Ronald Reagan's funeral...because they were actually reporting what was happening and not trying to make the news "happen" by "reporting" their partisan lies as "truth."
I'd love to think Moonves will give a speech not too different from this, but I'll bet he won't.
They're playing "Duck & Cover" over at the Big Eye and hoping the whole thing will go away but it won't.
Press on, America!

Yes, it's only one radio station, but it's a start and I think they'll have company soon.
