Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

They fucked up the fucking up of the fuckup!

If senate republicans had any shame, they’d die of it.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

Too often we confuse noise with substance. too often we confuse setbacks with defeat.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

Their freedom requires your slavery.

Technically true, but collectively nonsense

Nothing worth doing is easy.

When I decide to be condescending, you won’t have to dream up a fantasy about it.

A thin legal pretext to veneer over their personal religious and political desires

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Bark louder, little dog.

This really is a full service blog.

Eh, that’s media spin. biden’s health is fine and he’s doing a good job.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Tick tock motherfuckers!

I know this must be bad for Joe Biden, I just don’t know how.

Russian mouthpiece, go fuck yourself.

Let there be snark.

Americans barely caring about Afghanistan is so last month.

Sitting here in limbo waiting for the dice to roll

The NY Times

Everyone seems to really have their knickers in a twist about the NY Times/Jayson Blair scandal, and there is some obvious schadenfreude from a number of sources. My opinion of the NY Times has lessened since the scandal, but not really because of it.

The way I see it, the NY Times got screwed by a con-man- it could happen to anyone. However, is that any more damning than the institutional bias that will continue on irrespective of this scandal? Think about it- what is worse? Having one rogue reporter who made up stories, or having an entire staff that knows the truth but refuses or is not allowed to print it? I’ll take the rogue reporter, thank you.

    As far as I know, they not only got scammed, they were alerted to it, yet refused to do anything about it.

    That’s the difference.

    But, like you, my opinion of the Raines’ Times didn’t really drop all that much. Couldn’t drop much further anyway.
