One Point on Klein

I do have one more comment on Joe Klein's column. He wrote:

[T]he left-liberals in the blogosphere are merely aping the odious, disdainful—and politically successful—tone that right-wing radio talk-show hosts like Rush Limbaugh pioneered. They are also justifiably furious at a Bush White House that has specialized in big lies and smear tactics.

Will Joe Klein try and stem the "extremism" of the Left blogs by writing the truth about Rudy Giuliani's debate performance last night, perhaps the most mendacious in history? Well Joe Klein write that Rudy Giuliani brazenly lied about Iraq, Iran, terrorism and Democrats? I bet he will not and he will then whine about Left blgos like this one calling him on his silence on the issue.

Joe Klein can not handle the truth, the Media, he included, do not report the truth. The silence on the outrageous lies of Rudy Guliani is merely the latest case in point.

    How does that relate in any way to reporting on what Giuliani said?

    It relates in the sense that the media (theoretically anyway) has a duty to report accurately on the Republican debate.  This includes any inaccuracies and/or lies spouted by Giuliani during the debate.  

    I only watched parts of the debate (and the parts I did see made me wanna vomit), so I can't speak to what extent Giuliani was dishonest during the debate.  But I think the gist of BTD's point is, the left blogosphere would be alot less "angry" or forcefully outspoken if the MSM was doing its job better.
