But he's actually a pretty good writer. A bit of a blowhard, Olbermann-style. Very partisan, and doesn't really moderate it. Loathes Bush. Hates McCain/Palin. Hated Clinton, pre-June '08. Lukewarm to her now. Loves Obama.
But he makes some good insights. A lot of media-critiquing-media stuff. Here is his latest. One choice point:
I've always found this part of MSM election coverage weird. They consistently pose the question "will Obama face white racism or resentment in November?", albeit usually in less plain terms. It would seem appropriate for them to then call these undecided, white, rural voters out, Campbell Brown-style: "Vote for whomever you want, just don't base it on race." Instead it's the same old hands-off, present-unfounded-assumptions-and-leave-it-to-the-viewer-to-decide approach of "well, it seems Obama might lose to racism. Not much we can do!"
... the so-called liberal media, among their other failures this year, have helped ratchet up this election cycle’s prevailing antiwhite bias. Ever since Obama declared his candidacy, the press’s default setting has been to ominously intone that “in the privacy of the voting booth” ignorant, backward whites will never vote for a black man.
