Texas Scorecard by Michael Quinn Sullivan April 9, 2021
Preening like a red-colored peacock for the leftwing media is at best an exercise in self-adulation.It seems there are some conservatives who suffer from an unfortunate desire to be applauded by the left. While it is tiresome to see ostensibly right-thinking men and women prop up leftwing news outlets as guests and commentators, it is downright disgusting when they rush to offer quotes to publications that attack conservatives.
The leftist, establishment media is always looking for camera-chasing Conservative, Inc.-wannabes to participate in the virtual lynching of actual citizen-activists. And, all too often, they find accomplices willing to build themselves up by participating in the character assassination of activists seeking to champion real reform.
Let’s be clear: rarely, though not never, do these media-seekers join in directly attacking the conservatives. Instead, they give the leftwing attack-piece the veneer of respectability by being a “reasonable†voice who will offer pros and cons about whatever individual or entity is on the chopping block.
So guess which part gets the most play?
When someone from the leftwing media calls to say they are “working on a story†and are “hoping for perspective,†what they mean is that they have decided to attack someone who is effective, and want you to add a few logs on the pyre – if not maybe some gasoline. The correct course of action is to hang up, notify the subject of the coming attack, and leave it at that.
