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.

Newsbusters comes to mind. RedState.org? Anything on TownHall.com or Pyjamas Media?

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.

Point. Advantage, Edwards.

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.’

Otherwise, if the tool fits, wear it!

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?

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.

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!

Duros, I’m tired of ALL the people blubbering about how badly the media treats them.

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.

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?

By: Nimrod Gently

Nimrod Gently — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 23:27:06 +0000

Damn right he chose her. Left-field, sure, but she’s good.

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.

bowing to the kind of bigotry of Bill Donohue and Michelle Malkin (Donohue's assistant in this little research project), would be a serious mistake, both in terms of Edwards and his netroots outreach (which has been terrific thus far) but more in letting these haters have any more sway in national politics than they've already got. Weather this minor storm and stop letting the hypocritical bigots on the right dictate the terms.

“The media has changed. Information gets out so quickly these days that it is easy to counter the BS.”

Since the midterms, you mean?

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.

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.

By: Duros62

Duros62 — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 22:52:34 +0000

And Edwards has fired those two bloggers.

Bad on him.

By: Duros62

Duros62 — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 21:27:52 +0000

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.
