About that Whitlock/Limbaugh spat
Welcome, BigGovernment.com readers. A couple of points:
1. Please read what I actually wrote below, not what the inaccurate headline on Breitbart's BigGovernment.com says I wrote. I am emphatically not The Kansas City Star. I am its readers' representative. Approximately 75 - 80 percent of what I air here and in my column comes from conservatives' critiques of the paper and KansasCity.com. My record is clear throughout my years in this post.
2. I do not "defend" Whitlock's column for FoxSports here. In fact, if you will read the post below, you will see I say that I believe using questionable or false quotes weakens anyone's argument substantially.

"Wouldn't it be nice to be ahead of the curve, instead of behind it?" asked the voice at the other end of my phone line. "The talk shows were already over Van Jones before The Kansas City Star finally said he was gone."
Poor Donovan must be suffering paradigm disintegration paralysis.
You point is well taken, just not against Donovan. Derek wasn't defending the sportswriter, what he was defending, as was obvious to me, was what he (Donovan) wrote. He actually mentions that he wouldn't have done what the sportswriter did, ie: use quotes without checking sources. Donovan didn't defend the sportswriter.
