1. Damned liberal media! n/t

.

[Q]

2. Why are we 'short of funds'?

- Tax cuts for the rich Friends of Bush*?

[Democat]

3. The post is a right wing propaganda puppet

Do you expect anything less from them?

Half of the propaganda pieces in the Washington Post are written inside the White House.

4. You know, I thought Katherine Graham, since she was rich, was

playing the game like everyone else. Now that she's gone, we can see the difference she made. The Post is gone.

7. the only good thing left is Tom Toles

5. You have to love the Post editorial page

The front page carries Walter Pincus articles that, by rights, would have this administration standing before a momumentously furious judge. The folks on the editor's column manage to convince me that they don't read their own paper.

8. yep, they must have separate cafeterias for the reporters

versus the opinion writers. Otherwise, the food fights would be very messy.

6. We all know that the Post has deteriorated badly in its

editorial standards in the last few years, but even with that knowledge, this editorial was downright shocking in its moran-ity. The criticism defies logic. Let's take the comment about Howard Dean, as just one example. So Dean is "irresponsible" for insisting on a means for paying for reconstruction, and identifying exactly what means he would use, even though it is likely to be unpopular with voters (e.g., middle class tax restoration/increase)? Exactly what stands between Dean and this VERY responsible solution to a problem that would not have occurred had he been president in March 2003? A bunch of IRresponsible Republicans who want to borrow money without saying that is what they are doing, to give it to Halliburton and other companies, without a clear plan for how additional funds will solve the problems that this Republican president CREATED.

I guess my dictionary is not as up to date as the one these writers are using.

The only thing good about this is that occasionally the Post will print a scathing letter in response to their increasingly wingnut editorials.

9. There it is again: "activist voter"

Yesterday it was "voter activist" when they were talking about the people who uncovered the BBV and now today, it's "activist voter" to identify those who do not support the war.

I am really getting tired of the condescending, patronizing tone that is set by what should be a responsible national newspaper.

How about calling us responsible, inquisitive citizens?
