Washington Post Steps In It ~ Domenech Resigns

A few days ago I wrote, “This is probably the dumbest thing the Washington Post Online could have done from a long-term business perspective. First the whole Red State/Blue State meme is on the way out. Second, giving voice to one of the founders of r…

Good lord, that’s the most blatant example of galloping up-is-down-ism I’ve seen in a while, Dugger.

A newspaper hires a conservative blogger as a counterpoint to its nonexistent liberal blogger and that’s evidence of the paper’s liberal bias?

I guess that makes sense from the perspective of a party that touts its record-setting budget deficits as evidence of its fiscal responsibility.

Farris, you're silly, you know who they endorsed, it's right there in your link. It was Kerry. I figured you knew that, but we all make mistakes. No harm no foul, but maybe you should give some relevant evidence that the Post is liberal, or do you think that all of those who endorsed bush are conservative papers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspaper_endorsements_in_the_U.S._presidential_election%2C_2004

Yes, the pro-war Post is “notoriously liberal”. You don’t have any actual evidence, but you feel it.

I understood the controversy also centered around Dana Milbank. The Post is notoriously liberal with people like Dana Milbank masquerading as fair, unbiased reporters. At least Domech is labeled as a conservative blogger. Lets take Milbank, cut him completely out of the mainstream and give him a counterpoint ‘liberal’ blog. Fine with me.

BTW, obvioulsy the Post understands that their liberal bias has gone too far – confirming what I have always said: mainstream media are overwhelmingly liberal. Kind of hurts when your own sides acknowledges they’ve got a liberal bias problem.
