Fascinating to note that the quote Robert Gibbs obsesses over — a quote from Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI), a Republican — is not only incomplete, and breathtakingly misrepresented, but taken straight from the pen of the Washington Post’s blogger/reporter, the “JournoList” himself, young master Ezra Klein, a policy wonk and nakedly partisan operative who’s a living refutation of the Post‘s pretenses to dispassionate objectivity.
Coincidence or collusion? Defending Klein the other day, the leftist blogger/professor Eric Alterman noted:
Klein, who founded “Journolist” and ended it after the takedown of Weigel, joked about adding a warning to his business page column that read, “WARNING: This column may contain liberal thinking, which has been shown to lead to universal health-care coverage in most industrialized countries.”
Of course, that sentence might just as easily have read: “… liberal thinking, which has been shown to result in misery and death for millions of people in industrialized and non-industrialized countries,” unless you’re 26 years old when you wrote it.
Are you finally getting the picture that it’s all one big racket, with the suckers — excuse me! the readers — as the hapless, gullible marks?
Or do you still believe what you read in the newspaper?
