Shut them up, he explained

John Kerry: Media Has "Responsibility" To "Not Give Equal Time" To Tea Party | RealClearPolitics

John Kerry seems to think that not even MSNBC is living up to its presumed responsibility to be the official propaganda organ of the Democrat party.

SEN. JOHN KERRY: "And I have to tell you, I say this to you politely. The media in America has a bigger responsibility than it's exercising today. The media has got to begin to not give equal time or equal balance to an absolutely absurd notion just because somebody asserts it or simply because somebody says something which everybody knows is not factual."

Well, since the administration's efforts to Alinsky Fox News Channel didn't work, a new tack, I suppose. Just get the media to ignore everyone who doesn't toe the party line.

We've gone from "Shut up he explained" (Ring Lardner, The Young Immigrants, 1920) to "'Shut them up,' he explained" (John Kerry, 2011).

Well, Senator Kerry, I promise to do my part for your call to action. I will not invite someone to post here who "says something which everybody knows is not factual." Sorry, no invitation to you.
