It’s been a week of incendiary details highlighting just how out of touch the far left JournoList members were with flyover country, the working man, the salt of the earth. But the Daily Caller’s Jonathan Strong heads into the weekend on a healing note, finding at last, that there’s room for consensus between the right and left:

Journolisters offended by Keith Olbermann’s ‘misogynistic,’ ‘predictable,’ and ‘pompous’ show

Meanwhile, another veteran political insider, a man who’s seen it all in DC reaches a similar conclusion about the network that carries it:

Between Charlie and the JournoList crew, MSNBC’s core constituency clearly has some serious questions about their product. The network might want to take their opinions to heart to strengthen quality control, especially as their maximum target demographic  — much like Spinal Tap’s audience — is becoming more selective.

Update: Bipartisan consensus regarding the quality control efforts employed by the information wing of General Electric spotted here. Hope! Change! Room for agreement between the right and left, at last.

    No, Ap, I sent that check, as a cut out for the operation. Regret it now. Forgot how slow the rich are to pay their bills. Just talking about that with Shirley S. I told her she won’t get a dime out of Andy, that she needs to keep bugging Barry, he caves so easy. What a patsy. She said the phone call was a real let down, Barry kept trying to show how superior he was, Harvard and all. She said we coulda had Jesse Jackson and we got this popinjay.

    Really, when it comes to liberal Democrats and MSNBC, does anyone treat a $20 crack-addicted hooker with much respect? I mean, it’s not as if the affronted network could suddenly turn itself into a clone of Fox News, even if it wanted to, with the current staff on board.
