The end of journalism according to a Democrat

Orson Scott Card, an author, columnist, and Democrat, writes in the Meridian about the whole subprime fiasco and how journalists ignored the facts. His words aren't very flattering:

Your job, as journalists, is to tell the truth. That's what you claim you do, when you accept people's money to buy or subscribe to your paper.

But right now, you are consenting to or actively promoting a big fat lie — that the housing crisis should somehow be blamed on Bush, McCain, and the Republicans. You have trained the American people to blame everything bad — even bad weather — on Bush, and they are responding as you have taught them to.

Ouch!!! The truth hurts, especially coming from a Democrat against the left-leaning MSM. Kudos to Mr. Card for setting aside partisanship and presenting the facts.
