The NYT and WaPo, however, claim to offer the best political coverage. Their liberal columnists, however, have become so predictable on the issues that it's difficult for me to read them. <BR/><BR/>Dowd and Rich were pretty awful during the Democratic primaries and the general election. Kristol will face the same thing at the WaPo. Dionne and Robinson are one-track writers these days.

The Wall Street Journal op-ed page is another example: they have consistently had a "leftie" columnist. Currently, it is Tom Franks. Several years ago, it was Alexander Cockburn.<BR/><BR/>I suspect, however, that the goal is not to provide balance, but to provide an easy target for the rage of their readers. Its almost cathartic, particularly when you can submit a comment on-line that just rips to shreds the analysis, integrity and morality of the columnist. Kristol was a master at providing these opportunities. I suspect that most of his columns, particularly recently, were written to elevate both his “comment” count and the blood pressure of the NYT readers. A typical column was in no way a serious analysis of anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-41410940304379340622009-01-27T16:51:00.000-05:002009-01-27T16:51:00.000-05:00"right-wingers will never, ever be convinced of th..."right-wingers will never, ever be convinced of the intellectual legitimacy of anyone outside their circles"<BR/><BR/>As a former student at "Zenith" and a conservative activist during my time there, I can attest that this intellectual blindness cuts both ways.<BR/><BR/>Not a comment about Prof. Potter, as I never had the pleasure of taking one of her classes, but rather about the general intellectual climate and narrow range of debate that occurs in many corners of campus (and, to be fair, many other campuses as well).Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06063753532595944834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-53693647008830068202009-01-27T13:55:00.000-05:002009-01-27T13:55:00.000-05:00The Windows- and Mac-native codes for those specia...The Windows- and Mac-native codes for those special characters have not always played well on the web. If you're surfing on a mac and you come across a web page with a sprinkling of funky characters (mostly in place of quotes, apostrophes, and dashes), that's because it was put up with raw Windows character codes. With blogger and a modern browser this no longer seems to be an issue.<BR/><BR/>The other day I ran across a funny column by Rich Galen, a conservative pundit who does time on NPR sometimes. He was exercised because the ACLU threatened to <I>torture</I> Obama--they said they'd hold his feet to the fire so that he'd follow through on his promises to renounce torture, etc. And I guess it's well known that the ACLU will stop at nothing.Robert Zimmermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09122995991574352039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-33065718667064157002009-01-27T12:13:00.000-05:002009-01-27T12:13:00.000-05:00'it's not something any conservative newspaper or ...<B>'it's not something any conservative newspaper or magazine would do'.</B><BR/><BR/>The <I>Spectator</I> (can't get much more conservative than that!) hired Rod Liddle, well-known left wing journalist, to write for them.

That way, no matter the program you are using, if you type "'" or "~" and follow it with a letter that needs an accent or tilde, it will appear magically: á or ñ. That's for PC. U.S.-Mac's used to have problems with making it easy to insert international characters, but I don't if they have resolved that problem.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I am amazed that radical conservatives have been trying darn hard to convince that they were actually correct in the past eight years. It is also a bit disheartening that Obama seems so willing to placate them (I blame Daschle).GayProfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11289510184782252498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36212542.post-1035501447357290992009-01-27T10:37:00.000-05:002009-01-27T10:37:00.000-05:00Despite the wrong sexual orientation,I couldn't ig...Despite the wrong sexual orientation,I couldn't ignore the SOS.
