LLM Needs to Accept the "New Normal" of "Ankle-Biters"

Mike from RedState and Rathergate.com has some advice for the Liberal Legacy Media.

I don't understand how an industry that does nothing but critique, expose, embarass, malign, etc. everyone else can get so defensive about being critiqued, etc. in return.

How can the media claim that it's important for them to be watchdogs on everyone else -- the government, the military, the American Medical Association, insurance companies, police, etc. -- and yet claim that they themselves need no watchdogs and that, indeed, presuming to watch-dog them constitutes beginning a "jihad" against them?

When the media turns its gaze on some unfortunate outsider, they justify doing so by noting (correctly, I think, if self-servingly) that "sunlight is the best disinfectant" and all that. I would like Tom Brokaw to explain to me why sunlight is the best disinfectant for everyone else, but not for our Enlightened Custodians of Truth in the media.
