Secret's out! Here's what 'real journalism' means to The New Republic

You guys. You guys:

Joni Ernst is going to win because there was no local journalism to stop her http://t.co/PKObqLr0Hf

That’s a mind-numbingly awful excuse.

AYFKM? RT @tnr: Joni Ernst is going to win because there was no local journalism to stop her

@tnr Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Yeah, that's exactly the reason why she's going to win. Putzes.

It’s also an incredibly revealing one:

TNR admitting media's goal is to destroy Republicans? RT @tnr: Joni Ernst is going to win because there was no local journalism to stop her

Sure sounds like it …

@gabrielmalor Interesting that @tnr defines journalism as Democratic Party activism, no? A few journalists also define it that way.

@hboulware Wow. So that's what "unbiased" looks like?? I had no idea. Here I thought journalism was supposed to report, not influence. @tnr

@tnr Didn't realize that was journalism's job, but even if it was, you only seem to apply that rigorous standard to one party.
