When Josh gets bitchy, you've really jumped the shark:
Editorial pages are for opinion. But legitimate opinion journalism is constrained by facts, as nearly as we can know them as we put pen to paper. And by that measure, the Washington Post's editorial page has skidded outside the boundaries of journalistic legitimacy on any number of issues but most glaringly on our involvement in the Middle East.... the authors of this editorial don't appear to read the news pages of their own paper or their best competitors.More criticism of the Post from DailyKos here and here and here.
For whatever reason, the Post has chosen to throw in its lot with the flurry of mendacious rhetoric and the white-washed investigations, all of which amount to a grand pen and paper and word game truss barely holding together the body of official lies that is still barely governing the capital.
They've made their deal with power. They should justify it on those grounds rather than choosing to mislead their readers.
And don't miss ThinkProgress' refutation of the Washington Post editorial board's lies here.
