Liberal journalist goes bonkers

Ken Reich (www.takebackthetimes.blogspot.com) is in full rant this morning, boldly defending journalism where no sane writer would go. Again. This time, against David Broder. David Broder Shows His Conservative Bias, Joins Kinsley In Selling Out Press Freedoms and Judy Miller
I'm afraid David Broder and Matt Cooper would not have been with George Washington when he crossed the Delaware, but home writing that the American colonists were making mistakes in the fight against the British.
Get it? They're unAmerican because they don't toe the Journo line. (Historical note: Leftists are most savage against other Leftists whose thinking is viewed as dangerously independent and might threaten to scatter the party line.)

Reich works himself right up to a thunderous and unintentionally hilarious indignation.
Lord Nelson, at Trafalgar, told sailors under his command: "England Expects Every Man Will Do His Duty." The duty of American journalists today is to defend Judy Miller and assail Judge Thomas Hogan, who is violating his oath to defend the U.S. Constitution.
Wow. George Washington and Lord Nelson in one rant. I am impressed as hell.
