There are some people in the media who are so intellectually dishonest that reading what they have to say is to pay them too high a compliment. Alterman is such an example. His Orwellian technique of characterizing liberal speech as 'patriotic' but conservative speech as "harassment" is a perfect example. His claim that the media is conservative, despite all the evidence to the contrary, is another reason not to take him seriously. Every time I see Alterman on MSNBC or Newsweek, my reaction is "Why Bother?".

Jonathan Alter is Newsweek and MSNBC. Eric Alterman is even more putrid and less photogenic.
