this was on my MSN news page yesterday and id thought id share it:
Five thousand words or so merely to say “I don’t understand what people mean when they talk about ‘punching down’.”
Washington Examiner masquerades as a newspaper. Pure right wing propaganda.
And it’s owned by the Moonies.
And my mom reads it religiously. About every time I talk to her she is spewing something she read in the frucking thing.
Isn’t that the Washington Times ?
There are so many outlets named “The Washington ----” that I continually get them confused.
No, just that the author doesn’t distinguish between racism and racial prejudice; either from ignorance or willful disagreement, his conception of racism is removed from power. Hence the whining about a double standard and reverse racism.

This isn’t to say that Harden is or was a good person, merely that he had reasonable journalistic standards.

Damnit.
The Examiner is this member of the Religious Right:
Factual question here. Does the newspaper commission opinion pieces or do opinion writers seek out a publisher?
~Max
I was going to say something about how opinion pieces are bad in all media, but that was something special.
