    The implication of their non-attribution, independent-verification-without-verification policy is that they'll lend credence to blogs only on the basis of their appearing true. The possibility of hoaxes is enormous. Imagine what an enterprising blogger with a chip on his/her shoulder could do to the Post. Oh, well, they don't care.

    So the Post doesn't give credit if it can be verified...which doesn't seem to require them to actually, um, verify. Only be confident of the possibility of verification.

    In other news, Leo Hindery, Jr.'s paycheck the week after he purchased Vibe was 20% less than normal. Also, a stranger at the bar at Applesbee's referred to him as "bro."

    I would love to buy into Smails's "conservatives are underrepresented in the media" whine, but every time I turn on my fucking TV, there's another one spouting inane bullshit like "conservatives are underrepresented in the media."

    I think it’s high time Harold Koh and John Yoo had a cage match. Korean-American legal scholars, one Republican, the other Democrat, both having served at the highest levels, both prestigious professors, West Coast vs. East Coast, fighting to the death—the tickets would sell themselves.

    Yes, hiring conservative writers, who present a perspective typically underrepresented in media, is a recipe for disaster. Just see the failures of Fox News and the NY Post.


    Disagree with their views, hate them personally, but don't doubt the fact that there is demand out there for their opinions.

    @TheHonJudgeSmails: They couldn't find any conservatives with more credibility than known scumbag John fucking Yoo?! If employing someone whose only legacy was bending over backwards to create flimsly legal justifications for torture, I'm going to say yes, hiring "conservatives" like Yoo is a recipe for disaster.
