Stop, Hey, What's that Sound
I want the Daily Sound to succeed as much as anybody (well, not as much as the investors, but you know what I mean), but has anyone else noticed the trend in syndicated columns they've been running on their new opinion page?
July 5 we get Robert Novak, a man who should be in jail for publishing the information about Valerie Plame.
July 10 we get John Stossel. FAIR says a typical Stossel report/article features "anecdotes presented as fact, lopsided sourcing, constant editorializing and the exclusion of information that would challenge its premise."
Today we get Linda Chavez. She infamously called John Kerry a "communist apologist" during the 2004 election and when she ran for the Senate in 1986 she continually called her unmarried opponent Barbara Mikulski a "San Francisco-style Democrat" who should come out of her liberal closet.
Sure, run conservatives if you want, although it sure would be nice to have some balance every now and then. But can't you folks find conservatives who aren't despicable?
OK, I'm not sure who that would be either.
