Roger:

Congratulations! Tim Rutten and the LA Times have picked you out as “the pro-war blogger” to symbolize their pathetic defense of their once proud poster boy Wilson.Notice that Rutten tags you with the “pro-war” moniker to make sure his readers know that you are a unsuitable source for any information that doesn’t fit into their anti-war world view.Since you are pro-war that means you are a knuckle dragging caveman who can’t be trusted. Then he gives his paper a pass for not writting about Wilsons gaffes by saying the Wilson story was not news or stating the fact that the MSM wrote long”dense accounts”about Wilson.The accounts about the coommision report were long and dense but their references to Wilson “Misspoken words” were short,evasive or buried deep at the tail end of the story. Compare that to the numerous front page and above the fold coverage of Wilsons original accussations and they are hardly being “fair and balanced”.

Notice in Ruttens “objective” report on the baby killing bloggers he does not mention the memo that Plame wrote praising her husband qualifications for the Niger trip. Why would he want to give his readers all the story on Wilson when he can cherry pick snippets from Wilsons side of the story and pretend that it is “full disclosure”. Notice he doesn’t mention the “forgery” question. I guess that falls into the “Well we already covered that in our dense coverage last week when of course the Times decided to ignore that one too.

Keep it up Roger. You are doing a great job. You might not get the outside table at the Ivy anymore but you will be able to sleep at night.Just make sure you wipe the drool off your chin and that you wear gloves to protect your knuckles because you have gone from being a seeker of truth,light and justice like the LA Times and gone over to the dark side with the rest of us capitalist baby killing war mongers.
