Al Hunt is one of the most partisan left wingers in the media today. And his article should be viewed for just what it was. Political propaganda and nothing more.
We've come a very far piece in political discourse in this country when a moderate, middle of the roader political columnist such as Al Hunt, who publishes, in of all places, the Wall Street Journal, on the world's most rabidly conservative editorial page, that of The Wall Street Journal (well, with the exception of the Investors Business Daily) is accused of being, heavens forbid, one of those despicable creatures, a left winger, and capable of nothing more than, ugghh, political propaganda.
But, and this is offered by Michael with a straight face, I gather, that Human Events, that great bastion of "fair and balanced" journalism, that until recent months admitted that it occupied the right wing of the right wing, that Michael offers it as an illustration of balanced journalism.
Interesting times.
