What is it with these people? It's like someone came in the night and stole the REAL editorial page writers and replaced them with the Washington Times mind-melded with FOX News.
The latest outrage? Today's absolutely LIE of an editorial that states:
"It is equally important that the administration not politicize its warnings, because to do so would weaken them. In his statement, Mr. Ridge stayed away from politics..."I'm sorry, but in the middle of Ridge's "non-political" terrorist warning, he said this:
"'We must understand that the kind of information available to us today is the result of the president's leadership in the war against terror,' Mr. Ridge said."How on God's earth can the Washington Post write an editorial claiming Ridge avoided making the alert political, when in fact, Ridge did just that?
It's really all very sad. I've lived in DC for nearly 20 years, and have always loved the Washington Post. But their editorial board has become a big piece of shit over the past year. While in the past it was nuanced and smart, and in spite of FOX News' claims to the contrary, unbiased. Today it's little better than the painfully partisan crap we get from the Moonie Times. If this weren't the only "real" newspaper in town, I'd unsubscribe from this piece of crap in an instant.
I highly recommend EVERYONE write a letter to the editor asking the Post what happened to its once-impartial editorial board? Atrios also posted Fred Hiatt's email address at the Post, he's the editorial page editor: fredhiatt@washpost.com
