THE OMBUDSMAN

All newspapers have ombudsmen now, to investigate and mediate complaints. As if to prove to the world that the mainstream media IS truly engaged in providing fair and accurate reporting, and are sensitive to the concerns of their customers.

What a crock of shit. The ombudsmen I read are the most craven corporate shills of all. They have Sycophantic Cocksucker tattooed right on their foreheads.

Oh, sure, they pretend to give on the little things:

We were probably incorrect to publish that letter to the editor calling us cowards for not posting the cartoons of Mohammed. That letter was likely to enflame delicate Musselman sensibilities in the community. And for that we apologize.

Then they throw up a brick wall:

We feel we were well within our rights as good corporate citizens, and purveyors of the sacred truth, to publish the picture of that rape victim having her vagina forensically scraped for evidence. We stand by the fact we must report the unpleasant, and at times the offensive, for to do otherwise would compromise our commitment to First Amendment principles.

Fucking ombudsmen. I just think my job sucks. Can you imagine being the public face of apologia for the MSM? There have always been people doing the same work, but we had a different, less fancy name for them: hoors.
