Media insider: "The fix is in, and its working."

Instapundit:
A READER AT A MAJOR NEWSROOM EMAILS:
"Off the record, every suspicion you have about MSM being in the tank for O is true. We have a team of 4 people going thru dumpsters in Alaska and 4 in arizona. Not a single one looking into Acorn, Ayers or Freddiemae. Editor refuses to publish anything that would jeopardize election for O, and betting you dollars to donuts same is true at NYT, others. People cheer when CNN or NBC run another Palin-mocking but raising any reasonable inquiry into obama is derided or flat out ignored. The fix is in, and its working."
The Anchoress is a former full time media member:
I have a couple friends who work in the MSM, too, and one of them tells me the newsroom is (exact words) “unbelievably cavalier” about any complaints viewers register about their reports, what they ignore, their bias or the way they edit Republicans vs. the way the treat Dems. “Cavalier” as in the fix is in and they don’t even have to pretend to care what half the country thinks or wants.
Newsweek editor Evan Thomas famously said media support would add 15 points to John Kerry's vote total. I wonder if Evan Thomas might've guessed low? If the truth were widely known about Barack's ties to Rezko, ACORN, and William Ayers; and about Barack's $49M education failure with Chicago Annenberg Challenge: would Barack still have a chance to win this race?
