Writing about the White House truthfully labeling Fox News as GOP TV, Kurtz writes
Plus, if you look at MSNBC’s lineup after 6 p.m., Fox isn’t the only network that goes heavy on the opinionated hosts.
That of course it the journalistic equivalent of writing that Mrs. Lincoln quite enjoyed the show. MSNBC has a block of [...]

Monday’s Washington Post

Yes, that’s above the fold. Yes, it’s more space than the Iran story. I’m not attacking the Post for this. In fact, I’m applauding them. This is the biggest local story by far in this region: the epic failure of our most followed local team.
For a change, the Washington Post is on the ball.
If any [...]
The Washington Post Tries To Be The Onion
September 22nd, 2009
6 Comments
This roundup of opinion on President Obama’s appearance on the Sunday talk shows and Letterman must be a parody. The people they asked were:
Karl Rove
Doug Schoen (a Fox News dem)
Dan Schnur – McCain’s communication director
Ed Rogers – Regan/Bush I staffer
Dana Perino – Bush’s press secretary
Linda Chavez – Reaganite
Lanny Davis – PUMA and professor of the [...]
Spinonymous Sources @ WaPo Agree: Dick Cheney Brand Torture Is The Best

Glenn Greenwald on the ridiculous pro-torture story the Washington Post is pushing now.
Who are the Post’s sources for this full-scale vindication of Dick Cheney’s defense of torture? “Two sources who described the sessions, speaking on the condition of anonymity because much information about detainee confinement remains classified”; “one former senior intelligence official said this [...]
At Washington Post, John Solomon Apparently Worked With Bush White House to Word Story

He of course is now editor in chief of the Washington Times. Look at that liberal media go!
The House Judiciary Committee has now released over 5400 pages of Bush administration and Republican Party emails (pdf) related to the firings. Several of these emails suggest coordination between Post reporter John Solomon and Bush administration officials on [...]

Dana Milbank: How About Some “Mad Bitch” Beer For Hillary Clinton

Oh this was the high brow kind of journalism that Dana Milbank was lecturing the Huffington Post over. Consider us all schooled.
Time for another one of those blogger ethics panels.

Perhaps if this was not the same Washington Post that cheerleaded the Iraq War, propped up Dick Cheney’s abuse of power, fired Dan Froomkin for the sin of not being a neocon, and published the latest rantings of the clearly out of depth Sarah Palin, they would have more credibility in their latest op-ed opposing [...]

The Washington Post gets rid of Dan Froomkin. His apparent crime was being well read and not cheering the Iraq War like most of the rest of the Post’s editorial section.
The Washington Post Makes Up News For The Front Page
March 17th, 2009
28 Comments
When the Washington Post writes stories like this (”An Imperiled Agenda: Anger Over Firm Depletes Obama’s Political Capital”), coming on the heels of them publishing a clearly fraudulent column by George Will, a survey of Washington opinion spanning the right to far-right, and the ongoing advocacy on their part in favor of the Iraq War, [...]
Sign #203,467 That Newspapers Are Doomed

The Washington Post is hawking $10 classified ads to welcome the Obama presidency.
If they spent even 1/10th of that effort into making the Washington Post website even semi usable (I dare you to glance at the front page and find the daily chat sessions the Post does – unfindable!) they would make up the likely [...]
The Post Discusses The Crime, Even As It Warms Up The Getaway Car
September 10th, 2008

Today there is a story in the Washington Post, discussing the McCain campaign’s fundamental tactic of just lying. Lying about McCain, lying about Palin. If their lips are moving, they are lying. But while the fault does largely lie with McCain and the Republican party for making outright lies one of the legs of the [...]
Media For McCain: McCain “Reconsiders” But Democrats Flip-Flop
April 25th, 2008
4 Comments
The Washington Post links to this story with the home page headline “McCain Reconsiders Tax Policies”. The press will literally tie themselves into knots in order to carry water for McCain without pointing out the obvious: McCain has flip-flopped on practically every major issue in order to appease the hard-right base of his party. The [...]
