#1 Dude, if you haven't realized that American Journalism en masse signed out of the human race decades ago, you've had your head stuck up someplace where the sun don't shine.

#2 There's plenty of good journalism being committed in the blogosphere and conservative news sites. Which is why the liberal legacy media continue losing both market share and sales, with a resulting loss of ad revenue and employee numbers. German journalism is much more compliant to a shared Progressive outlook, so they may not have that invisible electronic component.

Nonetheless, the cowardice is egregious, and deserves to be highlighted, limned with foreign scorn.

#4 Other than a weak final paragraph and eurosnobbery, IMHO I thought it was a good write up.

#8 That's why we have the burg, to chop the crap out of the media.

The media has been slowly dissolving and corrupting itself for more than 20 years.

It's probably because they are all communists along with academia.

#9 One aspect the author doesn't mention is the blatant dereliction of duty on the side of all Western governments.

One of the fundamental raisons d'etre of government in a free society is the protection of the constitutional system and residents' rights and freedoms from interference by outside powers.

An individual resident of a Western nation cannot by himself ensure his physical safety in the face of threats by foreign governments.

If individuals organized themselves to create an effective defense they would necessarily create a structure supplanting the existing government. This would not be a solution.

The Western press corps' cowardice might be a problem but Western governments and alliances effectively siding with the enemy against their own citizens is a monumental scandal.

The Western political establishment is effectively telling the Islamic world that they won't run any risk of provoking a serious military response if they attack Sharia violating individuals in the West.

During the Cold War deterrence protected critics of communism from systematic enforcement of Soviet law in the West.

The Soviet Union recognized this and officially recognized Western rights and freedoms via the doctrine of peaceful coexistence.

In the 21st century however the Westen political class has peacefully acquiesced to a OIC Brezhnev doctrine.

Nuts!
