Not so sharp as a serpent’s tooth, perhaps.
RedState’s own Erick Erickson on Greg Sargent’s move from TPM to the Washington Post—
Well, we really don’t need any reminder as to the liberal bias of the mainstream media, but I’ll remind you anyway.
Greg Sargent was with the left-wing Talking Points Memo. Now he is with the Washington Post.
I’m sure Greg Sargent is good at what he does, but I’m also sure the Washington Post would not even consider hiring someone directly from the right-of-center blogosphere.
Of course the Washington Post is connected to both Newsweek and Slate, so its biases are pretty well established and no doubt considers TPM to be right in line with the mainstream.
Apparently, former WaPo blogger Ben Domenech, one of the and I can’t stress this enough founders of RedState, was therefore himself to the left of the ever-lovin’ center. Who knew? (The title of his storied WaPo blog, Red America—perhaps it was some devilish trick to conceal the MSM’s well-known liberal bias?)
But I really shouldn’t be too hard on Mr. Erickson; he is, after all, the mastermind behind Operation Leper. —Which means we share the same goal: I, too, dream of a day when the Republican Party is cut down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.
