The Washington Post fires its best columnist. Why?

One of the rarest media commodities -- someone who criticizes Democrats "from the Left" -- just got rarer still.

    re the single most transparent and damaging myth in American political discourse

    back in sept of 2007, when the fcc had their half dozen town halls, i finally got to speak past 11pm, i closed with:

    there are people on the right, who think that the media is liberal

    there are people on the left, who know that it is not

    and there are people all over the country, who unfortunately think that what they hear, see, and read is actually accurate and complete

    the post just must not want readers to the paper or viewers to thier site, weird business model

    (full speech @ sig)
