Hypocritical Media Drones and suckups to the state

Apart from a hysterically PC, anti-Ron Paul, "cosmo" clique, most libertarians tend to prioritize individualism over the groups we happen to belong to. Like the right, we thus look down upon the state's efforts to combat petty sexism and racism through, well, MORE sexism and racism.

But Glenn Greenwald's blog  accurately points out the intellectual shallowness of many opponents of affirmative action on "the right," in the context of NBC's hiring of former President Bush's daughter. So unprincipled are mainstream politicians and pundits that they are willing to abandon all of their good ideals (like, "the best qualified person should get the job, period") in order to cover for the personality cult or political party that they worship. In this case, "the right" has largely failed to criticize the obvious nepotism behind the hiring of Mrs. Hager.

As Greenwald notes, Liz Cheney, Megan McCain and Bill Kristol make up more than enough MSM nepotism already. All in all, it's obvious that the media, even the supposedly "liberal," "anti-war," NBC News, is totally in cahoots with the state.
