Media Matters to Washington Post brass: Fire bigoted blogger

We did not call for Domenech's firing when the Post revealed that it had hired a conservative blogger, even though the Post does not employ any liberal counterpart to Domenech. We did not call for Domenech's firing when it became clear that he has scant journalism experience but is, rather, a partisan Republican political operative with no place in a news organization. We did not call for Domenech's firing when his first post consisted of little more than sneering insults of his readers, describing progressives as "shrieking" and "unhinged." But, with each hour bringing new evidence of Domenech's racially charged rhetoric and homophobic bigotry, the time has come for the Post to end its ill-conceived relationship with Domenech.

1. A perfect description of Rush Limbaugh and Ann Coulter

(I)t became clear that he has scant journalism experience but is, rather, a partisan Republican political operative with no place in a news organization.

We can't say that about Howard Kurtz or Wolf Blitzer. Each has extensive jouralistic exerpience.

3. Brit Hume has extensive journalistic experience, but he is clearly NOW

nothing BUT a piece-of-shit partisan Republican political operative with no place in a real news organization, so in his case, it is not an issue of 'rather' (no pun intended).

4. Hume doesn't have a place in a real news organization that I know of

Do you know something the rest of us don't?

5. Yes, you're right. I should have taken that part of the quote

from Media Matters out of my re-statement.

2. Actually, Domenech should be fired for plagiarism

and intellectual dishonesty, if the following tales be true:
