Late this week.
Which is too bad, because the Republican panelists were especially Ridiculous.
Translation. And Exegesis.
Also, via digby, the NYT Ombud compares Dancin' Dave to the dirty fucking hippies:
In a New York magazine piece, Mr. Rich wrote: “Is David Gregory a journalist? As a thought experiment, name one piece of news he has broken, one beat he’s covered with distinction, and any memorable interviews he’s conducted that were not with John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Dick Durbin or Chuck Schumer.” And he derisively suggested that Mr. Gregory begin to host his network’s “Today” show, so that he can “speak truth to power by grilling Paula Deen.”
So, who’s a journalist? I could explore the legislative and legal questions, and that may be something worth returning to in this space....
But for now, I’ll offer this admittedly partial definition: A real journalist is one who understands, at a cellular level, and doesn’t shy away from, the adversarial relationship between government and press – the very tension that America’s founders had in mind with the First Amendment.
Those who fully meet that description deserve to be respected and protected — not marginalized.
