Media Elitism

I have held off on writing this in the hope of finding a transcript. I was unable to find transcript or video so therefore it will not be an exact quote.

Sometime early this morning while watching election coverage and channel surfing I came across CBS. Eager to see how depressed Dan Rather was and how CBS would spin the story I paused. Andrew Card appeared and “declared victory”; Dan Rather asked Leslie Stahl her views. This is my issue! Ms Stahl made a statement worded something like:

Mr. Bush shouldn’t be declaring victory. He is breaking rules he is suppose to wait until we and the networks declare him the victor. This hardball….. Dan interrupts.

Ms Stahl; who are you to tell the President of the United States what he is suppose to do, yes Ms Stahl it is President Bush not Mr. Bush. Your affiliation Ms Stahl, with CBS and the media, does not give you some kind of supreme authority. Who do you and CBS think you are, besides at the bottom of the “mainstream media” dung heap? CBS is not the ruling class no matter how much you want to believe you are all knowing and all powerful! You do not anoint a the king or at least not in the real world; please wake up!
