Contrary to your condescending views of your readership, what you were so desperately trying to accomplish in Friday’s sad excuse for journalism was brilliantly transparent. You fooled no one, and here’s the kicker: you failed miserably. You did not in any way, shape, or form save your own or the Washington Post’s ass, but instead provided glorious spotlighting for the miserable failures that have apparently become Daily Operating Procedure at the Washington Post in coverage of all things Bush. There you are, fires all around you, and you’re just standing there spitting with a dry mouth! What a spectacle! Too bad it’s not funny; it’s hard to laugh when thousands of people are dead because of the Washington Post.
And so, on Friday, you followed the oh-so-predictable pattern at the Post, upon realizing that a story isn’t going to just die as hoped, of launching into attack mode...easy to spot after several years of such treatment in your pages on nearly anything that casts Iraq, or Bush, in a critical light. The DSM story gets bigger and bigger, thanks to the foreign and independent press and the bloggers--- folks who have time and time again shown you how your job was meant to be done--- and now that it is clear that it won’t be going away, off you go with a nasty, belittling diatribe where anyone raising a dissenting voice is assigned to the loony bin. Given, it was feeble and pitiful and utterly transparent, but on the page it was indeed mean and childish and, quite frankly, more the sort of hysterical blathering I’d expect from the likes of Michael Savage or Ann Coulter. Is that the sort of company you wish to keep? Who am I to complain...it’s your demise.
Considering the high standard for political discourse you have set with your name-calling and (not even particularly clever or well-written) middle-school-cafeteria sarcasm, I thought it only fair to respond to your maturity with words you shouldn’t fail to understand...and if I have indeed given you too much credit, I trust that you can reflect upon the past four years of Washington Post reporting and put two and two together to see what I mean:
You, sir, are a filthy whore. Your colleagues at the Washington Post--- every last one of you who has ignored the truth in favor of pushing the Bush agenda, every one of you who has insulted the intelligence of your readership and abused their trust and now has the sheer GALL to belittle them for seeking the truth--- whores, every one. Rather than considering such quaint concepts as objectivity in your journalism, you have instead opted to take sides with the Bush Administration and assist them with their war crimes. That makes you a whore. Attempting to silence dissent? That too makes you a whore.
