Can’t actually abide liberals.
One of the rarest commodities in the establishment media is someone who was a vehement critic of George Bush and who now, applying their principles consistently, has become a regular critic of Barack Obama — i.e., someone who criticizes Obama from what is perceived as “the Left” rather than for being a Terrorist-Loving Socialist Muslim. It just got a lot rarer, as The Washington Post — at least according to Politico’s Patrick Gavin — just fired WashingtonPost.com columnist, long-time Bush critic and Obama watchdog (i.e., a real journalist) Dan Froomkin.
Personally I blame Craigslist and non-objective bloggers. Luckily there are so many liberal voices in today’s national media.
In addition to his Rupert Murdoch perch at Fox, Krauthammer remains as a regular columnist at the Post, alongside fellow right-wing Obama haters such as Bill Kristol, George Will, Jim Hoagland, Michael Gerson and Robert Kagan — as well as a whole bevy of typical, banal establishment spokespeople who are highly supportive of whatever the permanent Washington establishment favors (David Ignatius, Fred Hiatt, Ruth Marcus, David Broder, Richard Cohen, Howie Kurtz, etc. etc.). And that’s to say nothing of the regular Op-Ed appearances by typical Krauthammer-mimicking neoconservative voices such as John Bolton, Joe Lieberman, and Douglas Feith — and the Post Editorial Page itself.
What we really need more of now is establishment Washington ideas, that will be wonderful. Maybe then we could have some Goldman Sachs alums fix the economy and some big pharma and AMA folks could pitch in with health care reform.
Meanwhile we can keep the rabble distracted with immigration, abortion and guns.
They fall for it every time.
What is even worse is that the WA Post continues to ignore offenses by their neo con cabal against basic facts and truth and journalistic integrity. It can no longer be called a major source of real journalism. Will and Krauthammer have left the realm of facts and reality.
If you want to read critcisms of Obama from the left, though, all you have to do is follow the Nation. Hell, if Troll and cyniclown read the “Nation” instead of Kraut head and Rich Lowry, they might have an intelligent criticism.
so, the list of right wingers you gave is maybe what, about 20? so that leaves the other 60,000 journalists in this country as liberals.
you are all fools
Of all the fawning sycophants that populate the rightwing media, Krauthammer is one of the more annoying, because he strikes you as being intelligent enough to know better.
@2 I love to hear you whine.
@manoftruth: Ahhhh, generalizations. The tool of idiots. Your argument would be so much more compelling if, you know, you used specific examples. That’s the typical crap of conservatives, though…a lot of assumptions with little to no standing.
Bob Herman,
What takes his “argument” from silly to downright embarrassing is that the list of conservatives and villagers Greenwald cited are just at the WaPo. As you say, when we start looking at specific examples (i.e., the real world), the “liberal media” becomes easily identifiable for what it is: a myth.
Wow the WA Post has some conservative commentators and that’s the moral standard for a conservative newspaper? The same paper who on October 17, 2008, the Post endorsed Barack Obama for President of the United States.
What Puddy thinks is strange is why didn’t these two leftist loons get mentioned… E.J. Dionne and Eugene Robinson with the others above.
Did y’all fergit Deborah Howell, Washington Post ombudsman state in a November 19, 2008 column,”I’ll bet that most Post journalists voted for Obama. I did.” That’s a Nuff SAID comment right there. But as you know Jon DeVore (where is that blog picture again) will read left-wing kook-aid and throw it up for all to read like the little automatons the HA swineflu weasel crew has become.
ABC,
CBS,
NBC,
CNN,
CNBC,
MSNBC,
PBS,
NPR.
All right-wing networks full of right-wing kooks – right?
Where did Bob Herman and his yes doggie Another Total Jerk run off to?
Hey Dr Darryl did you see this in the libtard media?
“The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals court said Monday sharing an obscene sexual fantasy over e-mail is a federal crime that enjoys no protection under the First Amendment.”
Looks like Steve and his email list for goat sex acts could be in trouble now. Whodathunkit?
@10 Heh- Funny.
Q: What do you call it when Mr. Klynical is standing on the sidewalk with two goats under his arms, talking with Marvin?
A: A pimp, two whores and a john.
Heh-
The media is libtard otherwise they would be telling the peeps how oil has more than doubled since the messiah has been on the job and gas has gone up around $0.80 on average since then.
Where dem stories? MIA
Steve, how would you know the goats are two whores?
Because they’re with Mr. Klynical, of course!! Criminy, you must be denser than a black hole, Puddy!
Sorry Steve, the explanation doesn’t work.
Try again sunny!
At least the WaPo admits it, albeit AFTER the election.

And ABC is deep in the tank for BO:

Hey Jon, how is that Allen Stanford rant working out for ya? Puddy hasn’t seen the update recant story yet and it’s been months. Puddy sees he was indicted yesterday. Hmmm… did a “almost prominent” HA Swineflu Weasel blogger “suggest” Stanford was from Texas so he must be a Republican supporter.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahaha
Just like this liberal media rant.
What is it with Donkey Jock Straps and Ponzi Schemes?
Who knew Jonny-man.
“He was a courtly State Department intelligence analyst from a prominent family who loved to sail and peruse the London Review of Books. Occasionally, he would voice frustration with U.S. policies, but to his liberal neighbors in Northwest D.C. it was nothing out of the ordinary. “We were all appalled by the Bush years,” one said.”
greedy U.S. oil companies, inadequate health care and “the utter complacency of the oppressed” in America. Sounds like the standard libtardo Donkey rant of the HA swineflu weasel crew.
Donkey spies. Treason. They were such an endearing couple. Yep, such conservative media bias.
