From Kurt Andersen:
But of course, I don’t know many of those fierce Clinton supporters, because most of my friends and acquaintances are writers and editors and cultural impresarios of one kind or another—members of “the media”—and there are precious few Clintonites among them. Because almost as much as geography is dispositive in spectator sports—if you live in New England, you’re bound to love the Red Sox and hate the Yankees—demography is dispositive in this year’s Democratic race. And the great majority of media people are members of the same (white) demographic cohort that has rejected Hillary and voted for Barack—educated, more-affluent-than-average residents of cities and suburbs.
Well, there’s a refreshing degree of honesty…
UPDATE: Over at Contentions, Jennifer Rubin has more thoughts about the media’s sudden unwillingness to pretend they’re not in the tank for Obama.
