 The media reveal themselves, again!

The phony reporters, and their friends in the commentary world, are very upset the Washington Post and LA Times did not endorse their favorite candidate: Kamala Harris.  The editorial writers are not journalists.  The editorial boards, they themselves have said, are separate from the news divisions of their papers.  Therefore, we have a handful of sanctimonious, predicably leftwing individuals, who hide behind the general title of "editorial board," furious that they don't make the corporate endorsement for the newspapers where they work, and the individuals who actually own these corporations are denounced by the reporters who work for these papers (I guess they're not "journalists" after all) and their fellow travelers in the rest of the media for being autocratic.
