The Best liberal News on the Net

It's HineSight. HineSight also bills itself as "The Anti-Drudge," but it's better laid out, with better links.

A good one I found yesterday is this one, in which a brave soull at CBS reveals, now that they're out of power, how F-d up the GOP House leadership was.

I was actually going to write a blog on that one, but Crooks and Liars beat me to it.

And for 12 years, the media didn't call a duck a duck, because that's not something we're supposed to do.

Really?!?!? I think this is either the most poignant or the most clueless statement of the whole essay. Perhaps we find ourselves in the state we're in because the media doesn't understand their job. To carry on Meyer's analogy, how can Joe SixPack figure out if it's a "duck" if the media purposely leaves out the waddle, the beak and the quacks, because they don't think it's their job?
