The gliteratti of the left, in particular 'journalists' like Katie Couric, can be amazingly narrow in their view of the world. Katie feels fine about doing a biased interview to try to demean Sarah Palin and misrepresent what she says, but when someone tries to criticize her, its another matter altogether. Anatreptic have some thoughts on a recent interview of Katie by Lloyd Grove:
In spite of the fact that her professional plaudits are based entirely on character assassination, she doesn't much like it when she's the target."No, no, not at all. I’m really happy I took on the challenge. I mean, it’s frustrating for me when people misrepresent things I say in that manner. It makes me embarrassed for journalism at times, but no, I feel really positive that I took this challenge head on."
I used to be wonder how the liberal elites, such allegedly sophisticated people, could be so incredibly and obviously provincial in their world views, but interviews like this serve to clear up the dynamic. Its a colony of narcissists who believe themselves to be the center of the universe. Why bother trying to understand the world as it is, when everything important is in Manhattan?
It's cool to be an ignorant hick.
