And sometimes prejudices persecute those who promote them.  Ross might have learned this through his corrupted act, if liberals were receptive to reality and could learn anything contrary to their deified feelings.   Note that “corrupted” isn’t quite the same as “corrupt,” even though many leftists are both.  When we say a computer file is corrupted, all that’s being recognized is that it’s degraded and cannot function properly.  And to whatever extent liberals are willfully corrupt, they are certainly corrupted.  They cannot, and do not, function properly.

This is, by the way, why ex-newsman Dan Rather’s career was scuttled (far too late) through an act that was somewhat reminiscent of Ross’s.   When Rather peddled documents purporting to show that George W. Bush shirked his military duties, he didn’t know they were forged.  They did, however, align with his prejudices.  “Why, that’s exactly how these conservatives are!  This has to be true; it makes sense.”  But only when you’re senseless.  Just as with Ross, if a leftist person or entity stood to be impugned through the reportage, Rather would have moved mountains to discover if the documents were authentic; that is, if he would have considered doing the story at all.  Instead, after a career running with the bulls of his own bovine excrement, he finally suffered a trampling of his own design.

So I’ll be blunt.  As is often the case, when leftists accuse conservatives of failings, it is projection. Traditionalist thought is not a pathology.

Liberal unthought is a pathology.

And a severe one that destroys everything it touches.

As Peter Schweizer reported in his piece “Don't listen to the liberals—Right-wingers really are nicer people, latest research shows,” studies have borne out what I’ve always known: Liberals are cheap, ungenerous, uncharitable, unloving, self-centered, envious, greedy and covetous.  They’re less likely than conservatives to devote time to ailing or needy loved ones, and they even hug their children less.  And this reflects one reason why they support big government: they assuage their consciences by outsourcing their charity.  I’ll add to this that they’re lustful, prideful, wrathful, often slothful and, if Michael Moore is any indication, gluttonous as well.  In a word, they are the Seven Deadly Sins incarnate.

As for ABC, since news obviously isn’t its bag, I have a programming suggestion.  It could replace a certain long-running but recently cancelled soap opera it’s famous for with something that can be called “All the Bolsheviks’ Children.”  This could break new ground and help rebuild ABC’s reputation for honesty, as it would be the most self-revelatory reality show in history.
