McMANUS

Just a piece of data on the latest “journalist” to be moonlighting for the federal government. No surprise: he’s a believer in the “ex-gay” movement. Worth a few dollars to keep that sinking balloon afloat.

GLENN’S DEFENSE: He argues that he only covers good news from Iraq because the mainstream media is doing all the rest. But doesn’t that prove my point? He’s deliberately covering only half the story. How that differs from putting fingers in his ears when bad news emerges, I don’t know. Maybe his point is that he is aware of the bad news but deliberately eschews any reference to it on the blog. My criticism of Belmont Club and Powerline is simply that they defend anything and everything done by the Bush administration. I may be wrong here, because I haven’t read their every word. So can anyone point me to a critique of the Bush administration in any way that has appeared on either blog? I’d be happy to be corrected. Even pro-war, pro-Bush writers must have some small criticism occasionally? Just asking … And is there any conservative blog out there that can criticize my work without some poster eventually imputing it to AIDS dementia?
