Oh please. If any Republican hired Charles Johnson as their official blogger, the media would be in an uproar thanks to the fires that would be stoked by the liberal blogosphere.
The left had a frigging cow (and you were one of the ones bleating about it) when the WaPo hired Ben Domenech and that was BEFORE the reports of plagiarism surfaced.
Enough with the bogus whining already.
Why is this a story?
Enough with the bogus whining already.
Please tell that to Michelle Malkin.
Please. Cuz it’s boring and a non-issue.
And Edwards has fired those two bloggers.
Bad on him.
NO HE HASN’T NO HE HASN’T THAT WAS PREMATURE SALON DON’T KNOW ANYTHING WE’RE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT
If it’s true, fuck John Edwards and his campaign.
Duros, I’m tired of ALL the people blubbering about how badly the media treats them.
The media has changed. Information gets out so quickly these days that it is easy to counter the BS. Besides, from time to time the major mainstream media often picks up on a BS meme that is bad for Democrats and sometimes it is bad for Democrats.
Oliver doesn’t realize it, but he sounds just as bad as the conservatives who bellow about the “liberal media.”
And what was Edwards thinking anyway? With all of the talented liberal bloggers out there, he chose her? Goes to show more of his disconnect as far as I am concerned.

“The media has changed. Information gets out so quickly these days that it is easy to counter the BS.”
Since the midterms, you mean?
Well, whatever, she’s a good writer.
Malkin’s little high-school skits trying to diminish and ridicule another blogger’s words and/or meaning is ridiculous. Especially when you consider where that ridicule comes from.
Damn right he chose her. Left-field, sure, but she’s good.
Left-field, sure, but she’s good.
No, she’s not good. She’s obnoxious. She drew a large audience because she didn’t care about writing like a truck driver talks, but she’s completely juvenile with regard to content. Always has been.
Why couldn’t have chosen somebody like Jeralyn Merritt or Amy Sullivan?
Oh well if you say so
Jay,
While I wouldn’t have faulted him at all if he hired either/both of those two, if he had, there would still have been some right-wingers somewhere out there hollering about it.
One can never please everyone.
Duros, I’m tired of ALL the people blubbering about how badly the media treats them.
Which is why we see you all over the right-wing blogs telling them to can the “liberal media” rhetoric, right Jay?
Riiiiiiight.
Wotta tool!

Only in the minds of those that are closed could I say that I disagree with those conservatives that spout the “liberal media” dreck and still be called a ‘tool.’
There are no words.
Take it up with Pedro,then, Jay. Even better, why don’t you review Dugger’s “independent analysis of the media” some time? That’d be pretty amusing.
Yeah, I’m still waiting to see that too.
an un-biased study by someone who thinks fire hydrants are left-wing biased that concludes that the media is, in fact, biased.
Who woulda thought?

Let me see you say it on a right-wing forum –you know, where someone might actually disagree with you– and I’ll be impressed.
Otherwise, if the tool fits, wear it!
He’s keeping them on. Hooray for John Edwards!

Point. Advantage, Edwards.
Let me see you say it on a right-wing forum –you know, where someone might actually disagree with you– and I’ll be impressed.
Go ahead and direct me to one where they are going on about “the liberal media” and I’ll gladly do it.
Regardless, it’s ridiculous to call me a ‘tool’ especially when I’m taking a position contrary to that in most conservative circles.
Newsbusters comes to mind. RedState.org? Anything on TownHall.com or Pyjamas Media?
Come on, you guys. Jay’s right. He’s in agreement, here.
For once. Nice to see that.
So….he’s not a tool.
More like a widget.
