David Sirota: How Beltway-itis Rots Reporters Brains & Distorts America's Political Debate - He should know

My big question to David Sirota is how long he has been off the fumes in the beltway? All kidding aside. A faux pa is great in the right place. Read the last patagraph here. Does he think the media actually are "elite?"

David Sirota: How Beltway-itis Rots Reporters Brains & Distorts America's Political Debate - Yahoo! News: "A lot has been written about how, when reporters spend too much time in Washington, D.C., their brains start to rot, and they start spewing back insider gossip and stereotype that is so removed from reality, you think you are reading the rantings of patients in an insane asylum. Case in point is Washington Post reporter Dan Balz - one of the most intellectually impaired reporters working today. "

Thankfully, the brainwashing attempt isn't going to work. As much as the media arrogantly looks down at the public as stupid, the American people are innately smart, especially when elites try to manipulate them.
