The Law of Unintended Consequences

There's an old adage, "Be careful what you wish for." Too bad for the newspaper and TV journalists that they did not heed this wise advice. The vast majority of them clearly wanted Barack Obama to win. More than a few of them shelved their journalistic ethics in order to push their guy over the top. That's not speculation, that's a fact.

Just a few months later, it appears that many of them are going to lose their jobs, directly because of Obama's policies. Kate McMillan, at SDA, explains why.

Absolutely delicious irony. Too bad so many are going to be hurt by their shortsightedness though.
