Powerplays
Once, back in the days of kings and nobles, they would say that Power Reveals the True Person.

"But the reality is that MSM™ are driven more by their desire for control over the minds of Mr and Mrs America than for any ideology." says Bunker Mulligan

The whole crusading PC movement, subverting the feminist and civil rights movement into a leftist, maxist style "you will join us or we will crush you" type movement is all about power. They call for tolerance, they call for diversity, but it's a fundamentalist view that is elitist. "We are the saints of the modern world, " they say, "And you are the sinners with your benighted, ignorant ways. WE will lead you. WE are the ones who know."
And the front line of this cultural war is in the media. And they don't like it that we don't buy into it any more.
