Weird wingnuttery
or (A little Powerline bashing is always a good thing)
via Ezra Klein
Powerline's Hindrocket has a strange post about an apparent error that the NYTimes made in posting its article about the pope's death. They seem to have accidentally published it before it was finished, and so it read as follows: go to the article
I don't think I understand what the big deal is. The NYTimes article is very fair ("he defied easy definition: For all his conservatism on social and theological issues, he was decidedly forward-looking"), and Powerline's statement that they had their criticism ready to go, but had to go looking for a good quote is speculative at best. The only thing, in fact, that is clear is that the NYTimes intended to present more than one side. In the context of Heather's post below about the Washington Times' one-sidedness below, Hindrocket just looks like he's trying to pick a fight.
Michelle Malkin cites it as an example of how
The death of the Pope just couldn't stop the libs in the media from showing their true colors.
What are their true colors? That they wanted to make sure they had a quote from a supporter? Those crazy liberals, always trying to be fair...
