That was truly an awesome post.

Atrios remains a national treasure.
Time magazine remains an unreadable disgrace staffed with hacks.
I’m going to get back to drinking myself to death now…

And it’s a procedural link, for extra rub-their-noses-in-it.
Duly impressed.

DAMN. It took me quite a while to get it- I thought the link was broken. So devastating it’s a bit hard to grasp.
Let’s just kill EVERYBODY. And dine in hell.

What I don’t understand is why even the small blog post, entitled “Buh-bye, Lurita” doesn’t show up on the Time search engine. Atrios has a good point, no doubt, but it may also be a bug of the Time search function.
However, a search on the WPost website reveals only 9 stories and only *1* before this week.

The best is watching her run and disengage from the comments because she’s losing.
Apparently Karen has some thin thin skin. If all journalists are like her, it might explain why no one wants to cross McCain. They are afraid of all the bile he will unleash on them.
(Seriously. Go read the comments from her as she runs away from the comments because people are throwing around “bile”)

What I don’t understand is why even the small blog post, entitled “Buh-bye, Lurita” doesn’t show up on the Time search engine.
Because the search was for “lurita+doan” so “Lurita” only wouldn’t come up. And of course any real (not one-off snarky) mention of her would have included both names.

I did a “Lurita” only search as well. Still nothing (it gave all these stories to do with words that sounded like Laurita). Anyway, in the comments section of Swampland, Karen Tumulty points out a number of stories that didn’t show up on the search engine either.
I do not want to defend the MSM and their fakakt priorities; all I’m saying is that their search engines are a bad test.
In fact, this google site search yields 7 stories about Doan on Swampland, stretching back to 2007. Still not enough, still not at Miley Cyrus/Flag Pin level, but it’s not zero.

Not gonna let Swampland off the hook for that — I know for a fact that Google would be quite willing to provide them with an on-site appliance (for a fee) which would expose the full Google search functionality on their blog and published pages.

I agree. Incompetence is no excuse (unless you work for the Bush administration… how ironic).

Brilliant!

>most devastating blog post ever.
Atrios has been cranking ’em out of the park all day.
Here’s another one:
It’s A Complete Mystery
Apparently these people who are on the teevee night after night find it impossible to rectify the problem they identify….
None of them seem to know how this state of affairs came to be.

This is why people read Atrios, even though the guy publishes like 3 sentences a day.

It is a koufax post. Period. If no one else nominates it, I will.

Teh. Awesome.

I swear it has been five solid years of Atrios reporting on the MSM having such a bad case of IOKIYAR, and the beltway gang still have their widdle feelin’s hurt so when its pointed out.
Oh, how I wish I. F. Stone were still alive today.

Lurita, Doan go!
I heard that journalists’ skins are so thin, you can see their heart and veins and stuff. Is that true? Also is it true that journalists react to criticism like a toddler with fire ants on his crotch?
libarbarian
How is that the best?
Its a few sentences including to a link to an empty search results page.
Is the world going mad?
Am I the only one here who gives a fuck about the rules??!!??
OVER THE LINE!!!!!

That’s good.
A little shrill, though.
