So, surfing over on one of my other favorite sites -

Mediaite, and seeing all the new news about SF cops' racist tweets, despicable disgusting racist gun show images - juxtaposed with cretins like Cheney charging that any time someone alleges racism, it's "playing the race card."

So the racism worsens, and those who speak truth to power are treated as whiners.

Orwellian.

I think it might be time for me to check out of politics.

They strike me as a kind of veiled look-how-balanced-we-are-but-not-really kind of place. For example, there's a story right now about Megan Kelly's opinion of HRC's e-mails. There's nothing wrong with that but that's all we get: a Fox propagandist's view of the story and nothing to oppose it except that she clashed with Juan Williams. The whole tone of that site seems to be to spread the reichwing point of view under a benevolent veneer.
