Rubin:
[F]aux media critics are not critics at all. They are, I am sorry to say, as much facilitators of the mainstream media’s hypocrisy as anyone. If they were really doing their jobs, they’d be saying something, if not focusing full-time, on the complete breakdown of an independent watchdog media.

And so it’s come to this: Rand Paul talking all by himself on the Senate floor. On one level, it shows the power of a single senator to make a difference. On the other hand, it is a very sad statement on the intellectual collapse of both the right and the left — and most especially of the media, whose first impulse in this administration is to circle the wagons around the White House.
