But they're the first ones to scream when an actual journalist makes an error. Journalists are human, so they do, but then corrections are issued, etc...
Pundits and radio hacks are completely fact free and proud of it. We must make the rules apply to them too.

Patent disrespect for the presidency? Webb shows disrespect for the presidency? Does Will have complete amnesia for what he and his colleagues spent most of the 1990s doing? Unbefuckinglievable.

The difference between liberal and conservative pundits is message discipline. The conservative pundit must conform to groupthink and be on message. Liberal pundits are much more independent.
I like the GQ 'article' about Our Al lots better.
And if GQ thinks Our Al is styling, can the Kuhl Kidz be far behind?

I'm afraid that just complaining about this sort of blatant dishonesty will do nothing.
Until asswipes like Will experience significant emotional episodes, their behavior will not change.
As for 'conservative pundits' not being 'generally distinguishable' form political operatives, you are far too kind Dr. A - the assholes are repuke political operatives.

I just don't understand how Ed HITLER Rogers can make fun of Barack HUSSEIN Obama
Um, Atrios? Over here:
Yep, it's sad, but after trying for two weeks to get the Washington Post to correct what I thought was an obvious error in an article by George Will, I could only come to one conclusion: It must not be an error after all.
It's obvious that The Washington Post Writer's Group wouldn't allow other newspapers who purchased Will's syndicated column to knowingly publish errors, right? Of course it is.
So, reeling from my newly lost faith in General Wesley Clark, I looked for someone to blame for all this and, as the song goes, I blame Canada. I mean, if the Canadians hadn't had several websites which seemed to be connected to "Middle East think tanks in Canada," (just as General Clark said) I would have believed George Will immediately when he said there was no such "Canadian institution." I wouldn't have had to go through two weeks of frustration, only to end up disenchanted.
George Will isn't a pundit, he's an operative, and that's all he is.

Man oh man, did I just kill a lot of cute, furry little animals. That was not fun. I need a drink.
Looks like Pelosi's 'spirit of bipartisanship' gambit is going to work.
----
And now that the GOP has lost its power, Republicans are ready to show Dems a thing or two about how to be a merciless minority party.
Looks like the Republicans in the House aren’t planning to play nice-nice with the Democrats after all. The emerging House Republican plan on how to address the new Democratic majority is turning toward an aggressive effort to portray Speaker-elect Nancy Pelosi and her team as out of touch and liberal.
“Come January, we’ll take her head off every day,” said a top GOP aide involved in the planning. “It will be a pure war of ideas over the next two years.” […]
“We are going to re-establish that we are the party of ideas, that they got elected in a fluke, and we’re going to make that known every day, every way,” said the official.

Perhaps we are to take for granted that conservative "journalists" are on the Rethug pay-roll. In fact, the Rethugs probably take for granted that any journalist is just parroting the words of his/her master (the ol' GOP business-think in action).
After all, in their world, the idea of an independent journalist is incomprehensible. Just like they really don't understand why anybody in Iraq would fight when they could just go open a shish-kebob stall. They are slaves of their own tiny world view and cannot concieve of anybody thinking any other way than theirs.
You're describing the worst and most insidious aspect of the fixed game of political commentary. The real journalists that end up on those shows are usually too gutless or witless to challenge the bullshit they hear from their fellow panelists. It's not discussion, at best it's theater when there is someone in the group with actual balls, but in effect it usually ends up as a propaganda skit.
They're not journalists. They're just hacks in print.
Why anyone gives any of them the time of day is beyond me. And one of the worst examples is fucking Johah pantload Goldberg being given a column at the LA Times.
That's just a travesty.
Grand Moff, boor
Stop that. Eh.

"war of ideas", my ass, it's going to be lies, obstructionism, character defamation and (probably) skewed reporting.
Was you asking who was slinging the axe for Edgar?

Don't know Dougie. When I googled the boy, one of the links referred to onw of your countrymen axe-men that I was a big fan of back in the day - Pat Travers.

This Dougie guy is good, I'm guessing the band is made up of the pick of the session players, because they were all pretty smoking. Edgar gave them lots of room, too.
George Will is a self satisfied arrogant pusbag hack of a columnist, who probably would've faded into irrelvance 25 years ago if Nancy Reagan hadn't adopted him and turned him into a Beltway institution.
Hey, let them paralyze the government even more than they already have.
That'll make them sooooo popular.
“It will be a pure war of ideas over the next two years.”
They love that "marketplace of ideas" shit, don't they? Never mind that the ideas are merely sales pitches to get the social conservatives to sign off on policies that pull the economic rug out from under them.
The GOP has had six years to put their grand ideas to work. In some cases, they did. And it turns out they really sucked.
Priceless Will quote: "Never mind the patent disrespect for the presidency."
This from the man who in his column flat-out accused Bill Clinton of launching cruise missiles at Osama Bin Laden just to cover up the Monica Lewinsky scandal. I believe the way he put it som,ething like our President "was not above murdering innocent people to cover up his sexual indiscretions".
No respect for the presidency my ass.

I see. Because running all the branches of government for six years was not the best way to implement their "ideas". I hope Democrats laugh in their faces and say, "You had your chance. You've proven you can't govern. Run along."

I gotta tell ya, I've got a good neighbor. The predicted pile of snow fell on Chicago and environs, except not as early as predicted. It hadn't started yet when the spouse left for work early this morning, but it must have snowed like crazy soon thereafter, because I was awakened (yes, I'm on vacation this week) around ten by the sounds of roaring snowblowers all over the neighborhood. Including one suspiciously close by . . . so I looked out, and there was my next door neighbor, with his riproaring snowblower, clearing not only my sidewalks, but behind the garage door as well. What a guy. There's a fancy bottle o' wine going over to his house real soon . . .

I was just watching Hardball with David Gergen and McAffterty explaing our poor options. The thing is, the correct option was NEVER GOING IN THERE. Why is that so hard for them to understand?

Officially it is most likely to disarm Saddam Hussien. Isn't that what congress authorized?

Didn't he begin his pundit career as a fake ...failing to disclose he was a Reagan employee while commenting on the presidential debates.
He'd been punditing for a while before that. And he wasn't an employee just a volunteer helping his friend Nancy's husband with his debate prep.

Nine fucking days without hot water!?!? What the fuck is their excuse for that?
Boiler broke the Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Landlord had a new one installed, but it didn't get up and running until this Tuesday, only it didn't really. We had one night where it worked, and then nada. The first floor got heat and hot water, but no one else did.

Protesters demanded the resignation of Lebanon's government at a Hezbollah-led rally in Beirut.
In a speech during the protest, Michel Aoun, the leader of the Free Patriotic Movement party, said: "I call on the prime minister and his ministers to quit."
The protesters created a sea of Lebanese flags downtown that spilled onto the surrounding streets amid the deafening sound of Lebanese nationalist songs.
Many chanted slogans demanding that Fouad Siniora, the prime minister, quit.
Police say around 80,000 protestors turned up for the demonstrations, while organisers say the figure is around 800,000.

"Depending again on how you count, 2008 could be the first time in a third- or a half-century in which there might not be a Texan involved in the presidential race," writes Ken Herman, White House Correspondent for Cox News, in a column slated for Saturday's papers, RAW STORY has learned.
"And Texans are used to having one of their kind not only in the race for the White House but actually in the White House," Herman continues. "When President Bush leaves office in 2009, a Texan will have served as president (if you count Dwight Eisenhower, born in Texas, raised in Kansas) or vice president for 36 of the previous 56 years."
According to one political scientist, the Texan in the White House now may be partly why there are no likely candidates.

Wine classes at school could also lift the global standing of French wines, the report by the UMP party says.
France's wine industry has been hit by foreign competition and a fall in domestic consumption.
The wine industry employs some 75,000 people in France.

Pakistan - 'ally' on the 'war on terror'
Pakistan's government says it has been able to locate 20 of the 41 missing people whose families allege they are being held by intelligence agencies.
The government has told the Supreme Court that 10 of these men have already returned home.
The court has given the government a further two weeks to provide "complete information" on the others.
Since 2001, the government has been accused of holding dozens of people in custody without charge.
The Supreme Court bench - headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Mohammed Chaudhury - ruled that it was the duty of the government to trace its missing citizens and inform the courts.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush marked Worlds AIDS Day on Friday by declaring: ''The pandemic of HIV/AIDS can be defeated.''
There's a secret plan to defeat AIDS, but we can't just blab it to everyone.
"Change—above all violent change—is the essence of human history"
Someone is just screaming for us to get all historical on his ass.
I blame Marvin the Martian.
but wait, the 24th and 1/2 Century is still a ways off.
For many of these ex-Stalinist, trots n' Tankies (members of the official UK Communist party who supported the Soviet Unions repression of the Hungarian uprising) they are looking for a Soviet Union substitute which they have found in the US after WW2 and the growth of the the military industrial complex.
They also have authoritarian personalities.
Conservative pundits are politicians. Liberal pundits are political analysts.
Journalism is one of the careers that has some inherent contradictions built in. A journalist journals to inform and educate. The better they do that the more their job track seems to go towards politically oriented activities, which is to say, lie cheat and steal for a cause.

I liked the note Abu Asad Khalil put up on his blog, a note from his pal in Beirut, regarding CNN's take on the Hezbollah rally:
"Did you know that the people who want to bring down the Siniora govenrment are extremely obese? This has been proven by none other than CNN. They calculated last year that about 1 million Hariri supporters filled Sahat al-Shuhada on March 14, whereas this year the people who filled the same Sahat in addition to Riyadh al-Solh Square and Bishara al-Khoury place and the Jisr al-Ring are "maybe 200,000" according to Brent Sadler. In other words, each demonstrateor today equals in body size about 7-10 March 14th demonstrators. No wonder people (i.e. fashionably skinny beirut dwellers, a. k. a. "the lebanese people") are so afraid of them.
P.S. Actually, according to the brilliant Sadler, the demonstrations that followed Hariri's assassination occured "several years ago." I guess he wanted to show that big corporation journalists can provide an historical angle."

OT: Stephen Hawking: Humans Must Leave Earth to Survive
In a rare interview, Stephen Hawking said to the BBC that humans must move to another solar system in order to ensure the survival of the species. “Once we spread out into space and establish colonies, our future should be safe,” he said. Hawking made a similar suggestion back in June.
you know,
this is not going to end gracefully.
just saying.
George Will slept with the boss's daughter...certainly explains a lot.
He is a no talent hack who slept his way into a job. All I can think of is yuck.
From the scorn with which he attacks the "vulgarian" Clintons and their "pantomime of domesticity," one might assume that Will's personal life has been entirely dignified and free from scandal. One might be surprised to read, in other words, that in the 1980s, while still married to his first wife, Will was romantically linked to Lally Weymouth, daughter of Washington Post owner Katharine Graham, according to Washingtonian magazine (1/87).

Sorry. I've lost friends to this, and have something of a personal stake, and this is what Bush is really about:
The Bush administration and the Republican-controlled Congress for the third year in a row have received a failing grade from an LGBT civil rights organization in the government's response to the global HIV/AIDS pandemic.
The World AIDS Day report card was released by the Human Rights Campaign to coincide with today's AIDS Day observances. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the first reported case of AIDS.
HRC graded the administration and Congress in four key areas: prevention, care and treatment, research and global AIDS. This year the report card included a new category evaluating efforts to combat AIDS-related discrimination.
The 2006 report card gives the government and F for prevention, a D for care and treatment, F for research, C for its global response and an F for ending AIDS related discrimination.
That asshole would sit and smirk as he watched my friends waste and die.

The double standard of the pundit trade, in which Michael Moore cannot be forgiven for failing to redundantly caption obvious irrelevant details, but Ann Coulter is a brilliant writer for calling for the barbequeing of Jews and the glaring crimes against the nation by Robert Novak or Judith Miller are unmentionable, is consistent with the double standard that comes with a decaying elite defending their parasitism. Bruce can tell us anything about socialism as long as he remembers to tell us that it's wrong. Go from the pundits, who are after all totally irrelevant, talentless, ephemeral millionaires given jobs through relatives, and whose totally meaningless babble is only there because the establishment saw a shot at apologetics, and look at standard economics education. Morons who flack for Milton Friedman and robotic chanting down Amida Dereg will always trump socialists who must work harder for having unacceptable views. Look at the defense world: morons who think there is no such thing as guerilla warfare are tolerated as anyone who does not grant the need for four million dollar Lockheed toilet paper is threatened. This is far from an unfortunate failure in a glorious mission, this is a perfectly predictable pattern in the consistent system. Of course Thomas Friedman has faith that more Americans need to die in Iraq: how could that billionaire by marriage do otherwise?

Jesus fucking Christ. Has the Post ever published anything remotely comparable talking about the "ungentlemanliness" of Dick Cheney or Karl Rove? It's bad enough that they have shit like this in opinion pieces. This is supposed to be a fucking "news" story.
I always thought that we should have a Truth in News law like we have a Truth in Advertising Law and it should apply to pundits that also report on current events.
Set up an independent non/bipartisan commission with a research staff to field complaints. If a pundit or news organization states an obvious falsehood they must print or air a retraction with the same prominence as the original statement as soon as possible. For on air lies, the correction would need to be made by the same person in the same time slot, for printed lies, on the same page or in the same column. The frequency of corrections should be considered as part of the license review process for broadcasters.
Political debate in this country might actually become meaningful again if the right was force to actually stick to the facts.
you know getting into Space might help keep what little we have left on planet Earth.
That's a nice thought, but we will have to figure out how to live on this planet sustainably long before we can ever invent a way to live elsewhere in any significant numbers.
among critics of the president who have longed for someone to challenge his bravado.
We don't want someone to challenge his bravado, we want someone to dope slap the fool
2+2=5 means that with hard work five years worth of goals can be acheived in four. Nothing dishonest or cultish about it.
I've got to quit reading these threads backwards.
The icy exchange between President Bush and James Webb at the White House, made public this week, has turned Virginia's senator-elect into something of a folk hero among critics of the president who have longed for someone to punch out his fucking lights and make him cry like the whiny-assed titty baby that he is.
minor correction.

There have actually been more than a few musicians who are rather adept at math. In some musical applications the discrepancy you cite could have rather drastic musical consequences.
Just be glad it wasn't a "math" teacher.
But you know what, Gomez? One of our greatest assets is our imagination and I find those kinds of ideas exciting.
There's nothing wrong with dreaming about something wholly amazing like that.
Even poor people dream and that's what this is.

That was George Bush's college major as laid out by his advisor.

God their adoration of power is so fucking palpable you just want a Capitol police officer to harass them at a metal detector.
We'll have no problem colonizing space after we figure out what part of the brain to zap with radiation to prevent the stupid.

He has the best skin in punditry.

Where do we sign up to help?
The icy exchange between President Bush and James Webb at the White House, made public this week, has turned Virginia's senator-elect into something of a folk hero among critics of the president who have longed for someone to inflict on him one six hundred thosandth of the pain he has inflicted on Iraq for his own pathetic gratification.
Just thought I'd help with the corrections.
Sure it will, if we don't blow our fool selves up before we get there.
And if we do, our successors the octopoids will have a shot at it.

Unless we figure out how to circumvent the whole speed of light thing and the whole relativity of time thing, it ain't gonna happen.

Thanks, I feel much better. Now if there were something new on the Laura fashion front, I could call it a week.

Why would we need to do that?
The solar system ain't light speed, and there are stars that may have have habitable planets within reach with current science (just not current engineering).

Does anybody expect better from George Will, a putative journalist who actively participated in the campaign to elect Ronald Reagan President by playing a role in the Gipper's debate rehearsals?
Will has carried water for plenty of corporate sponsors, too, notably the Japanese auto industry, for whom his wife worked for years (and may still do so).
George Will lost my respect when I graduated from high school and realized what a play-for-pay slimeball he really was.
May he and his ilk slip beneath the waves of vomit their ethics trigger.
My, you short-sighted people are all missing the point here. There's a greater principal at stake, and that's the honor and dignity of the presidential office. It doesn't matter if you agree with the president's policies, or even if you personally dislike him. He is the president, who was elected by the majority to lead our great nation, and merely by virtue of his position he deserves a certain deference.
Of course, there are extreme cases in which this rule doesn't apply. For instance, if the president is a Democrat.
The conservatives have all studied at the P.T. Barnum School of Journalism and the Pinky and the Brain School of Political Alchemy.
