talks about "the media" as if you are not a part of it.
Of course you're not guilty of the idiocy you describe per se, but what purpose does it serve to pretend to be not a part of it, just because at one time you were a lawyer primarily.
Perhaps you do have a full-time practice, and writing this column is a side gig, but to most readers you're another journalist.
You are blameless for the idiocy of ACNE (American Corporate News Establishment) but you can't escape being part of the beast in this role.
Why not be proud rather of being one member of our media, who is clear headed enough to see through the bull the rest of ACNE tries to feed the public as "fair and balanced" reporting?
This way one day perhaps when our media regains some of its "independence" people will have someone inside to help them know if its for real or bogus.
