    "It did not 'disparage' or 'cast aspersions' on the series itself, which many of us at The Times admired as an example of the in-depth reporting the Journal used to do with some regularity."

    Conservatives just can’t write shit like this.

    The sad truth is that Carr's column went way too easy on the WSJ. He didn't get into deeper cheesification of that once-great newspaper: giant, overzealous headlines that aren't commensurate with the often small-bore news in the stories below; a fixation with generic, wire-images you'd expect to see in a free weekly like Metro; the tabloidification of the photo editing -- ever notice how all the women in WSJ "news photos" are now strikingly attractive? Or the "if it bleeds, it leads" mentality of the photos? (See: today's absurdly large front page image of a bloodied Berlusconi.)

    But also -- when you take into account the monster headlines, those big, low-rent photos and all the white space on the pages, what's left? Not much. Journal stories are so much thinner than before, and it's increasingly rare that you get the kind of detailed and thoughtful analysis -- let alone skepticism -- of the Street that made that paper a must-read for anyone engaged in capitalism. Also the idea that the editor of the WSJ would take the occasion of a David Carr media column to attack Bill Keller is especially rich. Apparently he's getting his lessons in nuance from Bill O'Reilly, Glen Beck and the Fox News p.r. department. That says plenty.

    Lissen, history is allegory. I take you back to the early sixties. A bouncer in the old Carousel strip joint is rolling on the floor, pounding another mug about a debt. The proprietor stands over them, ready to help his thug. Down the staircase the door opens, and a couple of slummers step in, freeze at the foot of the stairs. The proprietor yells down at them: "Come on up! Don't pay any attention to these bums!"

    The club owner was Jack Ruby, a stand-in for Murdoch, and the bums on the floor are Fox & Friends, and the Carousel club is the WSJ in all its pretense.

    History!

    @Tremonius: So in this allegory, Megyn Kelly is the doe-eyed stripper with a heart of gold who turns tricks on the side and Maureen Dowd is the icy madam who beats her until she bleeds but secretly loves her?

    I won't have an opinion on this until I hear Sarah Palin's.

    Whatever happened to those shirts you could buy from CNN that had pointless headlines on them? That was my whole gift list right there, but they are not available!

    Fake Oscars makes sense. I mean, you can get those and the WSJ on Hollywood Boulevard. Just not in the same stores.
