Andrew Klavan - read it all for it is good.

"Look, the American media are in a bad way, a disastrous way. Movies, TV, literature–instead of illuminating vehicles for art and entertainment, they’ve become like the Matrix, replacing reality with a plausible leftist imitation. Journalists especially have so shamed themselves in their coverage of the last election–hounding Sarah Palin’s daughter and Joe the Plumber while all but ignoring Barack Obama’s ties to Illinois corruption, and his long and deep association with the racist anti-American Jeremiah Wright–that it’s going to take them years to recover. When people shame themselves that badly, they don’t admit it in a hurry. They savage their critics instead and continue their own shameful practices as a kind of defiant denial–anything rather than look in the mirror and confront what they’ve turned themselves into."

Big Hollywood posts a lot of good articles; I could spend a lot of time there, but I have to pick and choose so I'll have time for other pursuits. Interestingly, I picked Klavan's media shakedown this morning then find it struck a cord in you as well.

I also picked up this nugget from commenter, Cait @ 11:25 PM

"Palin has what Reagan had -- and what we should cultivate --the aura of the Happy Warrior. @We must live as though our beliefs and principles improve our characters, lives and personal satisfaction, because if they don't, then why aren't we liberals? (who are the crankiest, crabbiest folks ever. Not even winning makes them truly happy, because they fear those of us not in the pod.)"
