The gap may be widest in the realm of politics. The Amazon page for Paul Berman's '60s study, A Tale of Two Utopias, excerpts five glowing reviews from newspapers and magazines but not a single one from an Amazonian; John Judis's new book has six print reviews to one Amazonian. Books about Clintons and Reagans are well-covered. Gary Aldrich's Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the White House has been reviewed on Amazon 70 times, garnering, like most conservative books, 80 percent five-star ratings and 20 percent one-star, as opposed to pro-Clinton books, which receive 20 percent five-star, 80 percent one-star. In both cases, the quality tends to be as debased as ... well, the typical political campaign. We get the political reviews we deserve.
Perhaps someone should tell Vaugh Ververs who wrote, apparently without irony, that Michelle Malkin is a place you can go to get "all the details" of a story.
The point here isn't "their side is mean too!" The point is that all of the stuff which is causing fainting spells by those in the media has been around a long time. For some reason they only notice this stuff when liberals make a bit of noise.
