    Heads up

    The link to the column seems to be broken.

    Glenn is right, as usual; but what infuriates me is that nobody is ever called to task for the errors and omissions that Glenn points out in this column. If, even occasionally, columns or claims were retracted, or editors publicly chastised writers for some of these sins against journalism, it would give some sense that things were getting better.

    As it is, Glenn's column is just a catalog of bad journalism that is being consumed by millions every day, leading us inexorably to outcomes this corrupt and evil Administration wants, war with Iran, a pardon for L'il Scooter.

    I love Glenn's column and admire the hard work he's doing exposing these egregious journalistic crimes; but I don't know if I can continue reading him without becoming downright suicidal.
