“The conservative media game was neatly summarized by Matt Labash, a former senior writer for The Weekly Standard, in a 2003 interview on the website journalismjobs.com. Labash explained: 'The conservative media likes to rap the liberal media on the knuckles for not being objective. We've created this cottage industry in which it pays to be un-objective. It's a great way to have your cake and eat it too. Criticize other people for not being objective. Be as subjective as you want. It's a great little racket.'” PeopleWayWantLittlesGamesPayMediaIndustryStandardsConservativeRapLikesObjectivesFormerInterviewsCriticizeCakeSeniorSubjectiveWebsiteCottagesRacketKnucklesLiberal MediaHave Your Cake And Eat It Too Author:Matt Labash
