In the run-up to Delaware's Republican Senate primary, conservative media figures noticed that their colleagues are "lazy and unfair"  "idiot(s)" and "mouthpieces for the Republican establishment" who engage in "ranting, not serious arguments" and whose commentary consists of "smear tactics," "mischaracterizations," "exaggerated claims," "slander," and "attributing sinister or corrupt motives to those who disagree with them."
Conservatives describe conservative coverage of Castle-O'Donnell race: "Smear tactics," "a disgrace," "a mess," "lazy," "unfair"

Levin: Weekly Standard's John McCormack is "not really a reporter," he's "a 'regurgitator.'" In response to a story about Christine O'Donnell by The Weekly Standard's John McCormack, conservative radio host and National Review Online blogger Mark Levin wrote the following on his Facebook page:

The Bob Woodward of his time (that would be McCormack) has spent the past week or so repeating talking points provided to him or lifted from other sites or going through a lawsuit O'Donnell filed against a former employer.  But he's not really a reporter.  He's a "regurgitator," if you will.

Levin to McCormack: "I think you're an ass." In an e-mail published in The Weekly Standard, Mark Levin responded to an inquiry from McCormack soliciting a response to McCormack's reporting on O'Donnell:

Levin's response, in full:

Lol.  I think you're an ass. You can quote me.

2. Being one himself, Mark Levin would know the ass signs so I concur with his opinion.
