ROMENESKO WATCH

Gay left supporter James Romenesko runs a blog linking to liberal stories and opinion in the media. If Eric Alterman sneezes, there’s an item. But if someone right-of-center has anything to say about the media, it’s ignored. A good example today: Jonah Goldberg’s excellent and provocative piece about media overkill on the Columbia disaster. It’s a big piece in a big paper, the Wall Street Journal. Look at what else Romenesko links to today – an end to the Miami Herald spelling bee! a college meat-eating contest! – and ask yourself the reasons for the lacuna. In fact, see if you can find any stories in the past week that deviate even slightly from left-liberal politics. Romenesko has every right to run a left-liberal blog on the media, of course. But he should be candid about his biases. He’s a propagandist. And a very good one.
