Under the guise of ‘investigative journalism,’ Josh Marshall and Nick Confessore bring you something special-a 293 word and a 4,253 word circumstantial argument ad hominem.
Impressive. To spare you the grief of reading the pieces- a PR firm, which specializes in astrotruf, publishes Tech Central Station. The PR firm takes money from evil corporations, and the ideological bend of Tech Central Station is such that it often is supportive of many of the causes of those who pay for advertising. Which means that Josh doesn’t like their viewpoints, is too lazy to attack the arguments individually, and would rather just smear the whole publication.
Why does this guy get so much respect? Does anyone here care where Josh Marshall makes his money? The NY Times? The National Review? Tech Central Station? The Weekly Standard? The Nation?
Well- I guess Josh and Nick do.
