Zach Carter: Poster Boy For Ignorant Leftist Journalists

I couldn't find a reputable bio for Zach Carter, so one must judge age from his photo, only. From that unreliable technique we might guess that Carter is at most 35 years old. That places him firmly within the grip of maleducation which has been foisted onto American children since the 1970's (and probably before that). We now have generations of the maleducated, but entitled, who are actually running parts of America, and Zach Carter appears to be just that:

"Until colliding with Mr. Carter I had never thought to ask if a young journalist who presumed to comment on the war on terror if he or she had ever heard of A.Q. Kahn. I assumed…well, there’s the rub. I always assume that young journalists would not dare opine on the war without a basic knowledge of the existential threat at its core, and the origins of that threat.

Perhaps a college newspaper editorialist would do so, but not a “senior political economy reporter” for a major political outlet like HuffPo.

I was wrong.

And that’s why I ask the questions I do. To expose the utter ignorance at the core of so much of the left. Not their rottenness. I often say their is a difference between “rotten” and “wrong,” and I believe that. Some on the left are wild-eyed fanatics and awful people.

But most of the lefties I engage with seem perfectly pleasant if also wildly ill-informed and, yes, lazy.

It is hard work to read widely and broadly, and on both sides of the political aisle. Time consuming. Not very fun actually.

But necessary. If you intend to be taken seriously. More importantly, if you intend the country to endure. Most journalists go into the business because they are idealists of one sort or another and they love the whole “first draft of history” stuff. What journalists collectively do is crucial, because lousy reporting leads to lousy voting, the consequences we see now on full display across the globe.

Perhaps Mr. Carter and his friends think the world around them is all George W. Bush’s fault. After all, they were in high school when the towers fell, and junior high when Bill Clinton struck at the installations believed to house Saddam’s WMD.

Still, I was in high school when Nixon resigned and I know very well what he did wrong and though I admire him greatly, can explain those wrongful actions in detail.

I would not go through life ignorant of key facts, especially important facts. So many of the people writing under bylines are willing to do just the opposite today. It cannot end well when a free people are choosing leaders based upon the reporting of a class of people both biased and blind as well as wholly unaware of both or if aware, unwilling to work at getting smart enough to do their jobs well."

I believe that intellectual malfeasance is actually indefensible by the excuse of laziness, ideological training in youth, and ignorance of how intellectual integrity works. When they are called out, they put up shields which defend their own ignorance and false claims from actual personal scrutiny. That becomes intellectually evil.

That's because "doing their jobs well" does not involve truth, in any of its definitions. Truth no longer exists; and history is not important for those who are part of the AtheoLeftist Will To Power. Truth actually would get in the way and impede their actual pursuit, which is establishing the elite messiah class, perpetuation of the victim class, and demonizing the oppressor class. That is their job, not being journalists of accuracy in reporting events.
