Kind of proves Ravi's assertion to be complete bullshit doesn't it?


What else is new?

It is possible that the rumors of left wingers at USMB have been exaggerated.

But Huffington is more comparable to Drudge, by Ariana's own admission, but I couldn't tell you which gets more web traffic.

Comparable in what way?

Drudge's site is a news outlet, with links to sites and commentators from across the political and journalistic spectrums. HuffnpuffPo is nothing more than a fringe lefty hack site, that specializes in screeds form the hackiest of them.

Drudge and Huffington are two sides of the same coin: RSS feeds with an editor promoting a particular ideology.

Just take a look at the current headlines on Drudge:
SOLD: Sen. Ben Nelson to vote for health care bill; Secured favors for his home state...
Dems Own It...
Reid's Government-Run Health Plan STILL Requires a Monthly Abortion Fee...

If you don't think that represents a right-wing bias, you're clueless.

And what about the WaPo's headlines for today?

Dems get Nelson's vote; GOP excoriates measure

A hard-won deal on abortion

Infographic: How the two bills stack up | VIDEO

The Take: Health-care debate wears on Democrats

White-knuckle adventures for Mikulski, Cardin

Task force faces new scrutiny | Defense bill passes



What a partisan rag, eh?

The AP and Reuters are considered the ONLY non-biased media today. Yet they still are. How sad.

None of those headlines have a partisan spin.

They hired 11 fact checkers for Going Rogue and 5 for Climategate. I doubt if even one checked BHO's books. Yes they are biased.

11 for an entire book vs. 5 for a series of letters?

How exactly does that show bias?

 

[Baruch Menachem]

This is the kind of thing that makes large numbers of people think partisan = dishonest.

I personally don't trust the AP. However, to say they put 11 guys on full time to check out the book isn't honest either.

It does strike me that they put a lot more resources checking into Sarah than they did on anyone else. And they really should have devoted more resources into checking the other folks than they did.

And some of their "fact Checks" were just plain as weird as the 11 fact checkers charge.

They really need to fact check their climate reporting for example. Even reality checking once in a while would help.

But it is better to chill on some of the noise in this regard.
