This has recently become my pet peeve.

The media consistently refers to itself in the third person.  Last night, while channel-surfing, I landed on O'Reilly for a few moments of self-inflicted misery.  He was complaining about how he has been treated unfairly by "the media."  He then asked his fellow media member if they trusted "the media," to which he replied, "Of course not!"  You can watch it here, at about 6:00 in.  

I really have no idea how these guys keep a straight face.  And they all do it!  It seriously drives me nuts.  

Dan Abrams does it all the time.  Usually after his absurd segment on demerits and cheap shots, or whatever it is, he goes into his "Beat the Press" on which he sticks it to "the media."  Here he asks, "Is the media rooting against Hillary?" Fair question, but seriously?  Just type in "Dan Abrams The Media" into YouTube and you'll get 60 results of him talking about the media in the third person.

Here Fox News kindly informs us that "The Recession is a Media Myth." Well shit, I feel better now.  I'm sure all those people who lost their houses feel an overwhelming sense of relief.

CNN makes it all clear when they tell us about "The Media Lovefest" with Obama.  They even give us examples of themselves doing it!  Brilliant!

Chris Matthews actually gets it right before he realizes he's on air.  

New York Times, The New Republic, and Politico all remind us of "the media's" love for McCain.  

Am I the only one who finds myself shouting at the TV and computer screen, "YOU ARE THE MEDIA!!!"
