How Do You Spell Hypocrisy?

M - E - D - I - A

[[ Closed meetings of official bodies normally are - and should be - anathema to journalists the public must depend upon to know what government officials are doing with the people’s business.

So why the free pass from the media earlier this week for Senate Democrats who banished reporters and spectators, dimmed the lights and closed the doors of the U.S. Senate?

Would things have been different if roles were reversed and it was GOP senators closing the Senate to yell at Democrats for protecting “leakers” in government?

Journalists’ outraged protests would have boomed as soon as the Senate doors closed, no doubt followed by anguished cries about “the death of the free press” and demands for the immediate tar and feathering of the GOP leadership.

Sadly, too many in the mainstream media just don’t see the link between such an obvious double standard among journalists and their already tattered credibility with the American people.
