For decades, the Washington press corps has presented itself as the guardian of political order and institutional stability. They are the real “news experts” whose experience and rational judgment are necessary to preserve “fairness” and “objectivity.” The rise of Fox News and the New Media – Internet news sites, such as the Drudge Report, World Net Daily and Newsmax, along with talk radio – has ripped away that shallow, smug and self-satisfied journalistic veneer.

The emergence of Fox News is a sign many Americans no longer trust the political and media class. It is part of a larger populist revolt that is slowly reshaping our society. The American people crave government accountability and political transparency. Moreover, many in the heartland rightly sense that something has gone terribly wrong. They are slowly losing their country to globalist progressives who no longer share any attachment to traditional America.  (my emphasis)

Right, and we recently got an Exhibit A of things gone terribly wrong.

Here’s a headline from a Financial Times story: “[Securities and Exchange Commission] hires Goldman [Sachs] alumnus to head enforcement division.”  Fox, hen house.  Say no more.  But there is more.  First paragraph of updated story: “The Securities and Exchange Commission has hired a 29-year-old Goldman Sachs alumnus as managing executive of its enforcement division.”  Is this a joke?  I guess no high school students were available.  Well, he has an MBA from New York University.  I am so glad the SEC is serious about enforcement.
