FAR FROM HEAVEN! When will Liberal Oasis learn—that our big orgs are next door to perfect?

SATURDAY, MAY 21, 2005

FAR FROM HEAVEN: We can all feel especially lucky. We’re lucky because, as it turns out, our big newspapers aren’t “pieces of crap” after all; in fact, they represent “the current state of the art in human perfectibility.” (Well, at least the New York Times does. See THE DAILY HOWLER, 5/20/05.) And if they weren’t the next best thing to perfection, think how bad their coverage would be—of Priscilla Owen, for example.

With that in mind, be sure to read this report in Liberal Oasis—a report critiquing Thursday’s profile of Owen in the Los Angeles Times. We chuckled to think that the folks at Oasis didn’t realize what Blogger Pangloss explained—that they’re only “enabling the right-wing agenda” when they pen such thoughtless critiques.
