Malkin Mauled

Jonathan Chait, senior editor at The New Republic, claims Malkin is full of bull in a column dedicated to media bias.

Excerpts:-

The other day I played a leading role in a Michelle Malkin syndicated column about liberal media bias. Her complaint provides an interesting glimpse into the feverish workings of the paranoid mind of the far right.

...To cite a column I wrote as evidence of liberal media bias makes exactly as much sense as citing a Michelle Malkin column as evidence of conservative media bias. (More precisely, conservative deranged cheerleader-from-Hell bias.)

...If this were an article about Obama, Malkin would probably call the author "adoring." In her telling, though, the news account is an "anti-war screed," because, after reporting that Bush believes that fitness sharpens his thinking, it follows the "he said-she said" wire reporting practice and gives a one-sentence quote to nutty anti-war protestor Cindy Sheehan, who asserts that Bush should spend more time doing "the nation's work." I'm not sure how this wire story can be described as a "screed," let alone an anti-war screed...
