Why Does Eric Alterman Hate Pioneering Gay NY Times Columnist Frank Bruni?

If you want a perfect example of how the Left pushes for more liberal press coverage, this is it: Eric Alterman accuses new-minted New York Times columnist Frank Bruni of being too soft on Bush.

What Sort Of Tumor Is Progressivism?

by Smitty Why, pro-state cancer. Ba-dump bump *tsh*. Seriously, I am enjoying the worst bandwidth challenge yet to my blogger-fu.
