Again, the use of the Royal "we"...

"We" all know that the other blogger spends most of her time off the rails, so it's no surprise she's done it again and is digging in even deeper. In a convoluted way, she attempted to equate her blog and rants with actual journalism, as if she is providing an unbiased and reliable public service. In doing this, she compares herself to the late Walter Lippmann, a true giant of journalism and political commentary. She ends her proclamation with this:
For the other blogger to put herself on the pedestal of a noted journalist, one would have to bury years of evidence to the contrary. For example, now that it is getting cold up North, many Snowbirds are returning to Lake Worth. Many Snowbirds are neighbors of the other blogger in the Lake Osborne area of the city. The Snowbirds, mostly Northerners and Canadians, add much to our economy and our culture as well. Here's what our "journalist" thinks of our Snowbird neighbors and visitors here in Lake Worth, Florida:

I doubt the late, great Walter Lippmann would approve.

In conclusion, here is a quote from Walter Lippmann the other blogger should take to heart:
"There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the perennial temptation."
