McJoan on Greider

It's a great post and I think mcjoan sums up the problem succinctly: 

The traditional media loves being in the in-crowd, the Right
understands that, and has manipulated the conversation. That goes for
Social Security and just about every other issue. What Greider is
describing is not terribly difference from what Glenn has revealed about the traditional media in the WikiLeaks case.

What has to happen is a counter-narrative from Democratic leadership. A handful of good, progressive politicians like Bernie Sanders and Raul Grijalva have been on the beat, but have been too easily marginalized as "lefties," even though they are stating easily verified facts. They need to be joined by more courageous Dems who are willing to buck the conventional wisdom and turn it on its head.
