Our Moronic Elites
By Mitch Berg
Margaret Brennan has emerged in this past few months as the poster girl for all that is stupid and depraved about our “elites”.
But even I didn’t think she’d go here…:
Stupid reporter?
Or a natural progression of the whole “free speech is bad” thing that elites were pushing during a campaign where the Democrats were opposing it?
Why choose?

President Reagan’s somewhere chuckling about that, “The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant; it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

Margaret Brennan knows what she knows because she learned it from a trusted source: CBS.

I guess you could claim that the National Socialists did benefit from the Weimar Republik’s relatively free speech, but at the same time, probably the bigger thing was the German government’s rather tepid response to violent insurrections like those of the Communists and Nazis, as exemplified by the fact that Hitler was only imprisoned for nine months after the “Beer Hall Putsch” and not deported.
We might also note that if journalists had done their job–starting with Walter Duranty–the world might have been better able to see how bat-guano crazy both the Nazis and the Communists were (and are).
