Kurtz double standards are well documented
Today he finally commented on the National Reviews controversy concerning the false reporting done by war Blogger W. Thomas Smith Jr., a former Marine. He then immediately took the opportunity to equivicate it to a 5 month old controversy concerning the New Republic. Even though this was covered extensively by Kurtz previously. Yet he managed to ignore the much more timely National Review's scandal.
Whenever challenged at his constant need to balance the rights malfeasance with a negative slam on the left its always justified. Yet he does not feel that standard is necessarilly appropriate in the reverse case. In fact he spends an inordinate amount of his columns acknowledging liberal bias and rationalizing right wing bias. The examples are too numerous to recount
