Froomkin gone from the Washington Post

Too many good ideas I guess.  He and Greg Mitchell of Editor and Publisher really held the line during the Bush years.  Not a partisan line, but a common sense and a legal line.  The idea that our constitution is not just a document to serve us when it is convenient.  But is actually of most use when it is most inconvenient.

One of the common fallacies is that the Washington Post is a liberal paper, it has really ceased to be so.   What Duncan (Atrios) says in the link below is prescient -- how it became liberal to uphold the law and actually enforce it is beyond me.  I hope I never understand.

Once again I'm with Andy and Duncan
