Taking my cue from CPB chairman Ken Tomlinson, I have conducted an independent, fair and balanced investigation into Pensito Review’s content and I am herewith prepared to make my findings public for the first time.
Pensito Review has been infected by LIBERAL BIAS. Indeed, my exhaustive investigation has failed to turn up a single article or link that could be construed to be the least bit CONSERVATIVE. Double-indeed, the contributors of Pensito Review, as well as its readers who post comments, appear to be consistently atheistic gender-bending commies who hate everything that Americans hold near and dear, and they don’t have any respect for elected politicians or the God-based traditions that have made this country great.
Just look at the way they pick on Gov. Arnold and Gov. Jeb, how often they employ incendiary and inflammatory rhetoric, how snarky and sarcastic they are, how often they use words like “wingnut” and “Repugs” to describe those whose political beliefs they eschew.
Granted, I, too, am a contributor to Pensito Review, but I can put aside my LIBERAL BIAS and evaluate the Weblog with PURE OBJECTIVITY. Plus, I would be willing (for an honorarium of just $20k) to appear before a wingnut Congressional witch-hunting committee and testify about my study of the content of Pensito Review.
For a few dollars more, I’ll even name names (sorry, Jon and Trish).
First, thanks to our new (self-appointed) omsbudsman Buck (omsBuckman?) for making these observations about the editorial content of the Pensito Review.
In response, I want to make it clear that members of the PR’s editorial staff collective believe in the highest standards of opinion journalism.
Furthermore, it is the editorial policy of the Pensito Review to present a fair and balanced view of how Republicans lie, cheat and steal. However, we are only human and if we slip up and publish articles that are unfair and unbalanced, we should probably apologize but that’s just too bad.
As Wonkette once said, calling around to check facts or get a second source on a story is a great idea in theory, but it is awkward, if not damn near impossible, to hold a phone and a martini glass at the same time.
Is there anything more futile than commenting on a post that’s 6 months old?
On the other hand, is it more fultile (why does “futiler” just not seem an appropriate construction?) than being the 1,253rd comment on a fresh thread by Atrios?
Well, look, anyway, I kind of just stumbled in here. Can anyone point me in the direction of firedoglake? (and, oh yeah, is there a rest room?)
The thing is this is a really neat place! How come it’s not onn the blog roll of any of the sites I visit regularly?
