Just as a general guideline when dealing with MSM, don’t confuse checking the facts with presenting the facts. They won’t let readers have any inconvenient facts that contradict their narrative.

I was surprised to see that they inserted my comment. They still haven’t fixed the post.

For your amusement, this is what I sent to the crack team of highly trained professionals at Opinionator:

You are aware, I would hope, that Meryl Yourish, found at http://www.yourish.com/, is not the same person as the woman posting under a pseudonym at neoneocon.com.

Good work on this from the layers of editors and fact checkers at the New York Times. Forget understanding what conservatives think – you canâ€™t even quote us correctly!

Sheesh!

What are they teaching in journalism these days! As a parent I’d be demanding my money back for a half-witted education.

Verify facts first, then second and maybe a third before putting something forth.
