A Decent Journalist Joins the Fever Swamp

A decent journalist who has covered China and the Sudan well, Nick Kristof goes off the deep end today, attacking the Swift Boat Veterans (still news?) and wringing his hands over "mudslinging," but doesn't even mention Rathergate, notwithstanding the involvement of Max Cleland and Joe Lockhart in the forged-documents mess.

The MSM (main stream media) do not understand the raw hatred we "conservative wing nuts" feel for them.

In a time when beheaders abound, we have scant patience for their cant and their mantras.

But it's a shame a good man has charged into the fever swamp.
