Both Confederate Yankee and Tom Maguire took time to fisk Adam Nagourney’s rather hilarious piece in today’s NY Times, entitled, Some Democrats Are Sensing Missed Opportunities.
Isn’t that a great headline? It’s right up there today’s other NY Times observations: West Beginning to See Islamic Protests as Sign of Deep Gulf.
This is our intelligensia today, folks. Kinda maybe sniffing that their party ain’t doing so well, and…gee, you know…maybe there is something to what some have been saying about a clash of civilizations???? Nah, let’s go have a latte!
Vaughn Ververs at Public Eye reads it from a reporter’s perspective:
As someone who has intensely followed political reporting for the better part of the last decade, I tend to agree with Marshall’s assessment. Not to pick on The Times, but political reporters in general have this habit of looking for the counter-narrative. Things aren’t looking so good for Republicans? Well, then let’s check in and see what Democrats are worried about. Turns out they have concerns of their own – front page story, here we come.

One could conclude that ‘remedial education’ classes for the MSM just might be working.
