I Drew This

Well, no, I didn't. But the blog I Drew This consistently has excellent commentary on political happenings. And the most recent post is even more excellent than the usual excellent excellence*.

You see a lot of false equivalencies in the media. It's sort of their creed: if you report that Republicans have done something that makes them look bad, you must immediately find a way to say that Democrats do it also. That is how you seem "fair." If the Republicans are, for instance, lying through their teeth, and the Democrats aren't, you're obligated to say something like "Republicans are claiming that Ted Kennedy is a serial killer, but Democrats today used a very generous interpretation of their tax plan, so both sides lie."

She then goes on to use Paul Krugman as an example the day before he won the Nobel; pretty good timing!
