Rachel Maddow: fact-checking the CPAC convention

| »

Sometimes, I have to wonder if Maddow isn’t the only journalist in the friggin’ mainstream media that actually cares about, you know, journalism. (Other than others like Jon Stewart and even Stephen Colbert, although the latter’s brand of journalism is understandably less serious in tone.) For example, I haven’t heard of anyone else actually tackling the CPAC convention that’s underway and sifting through the bullshit. But, as usual, Maddow did:

I don’t agree with Maddow that these dishonest buffoons actually “insulted their audience’s intelligence”, for I suspect the room’s average IQ couldn’t have been far above the room’s average temperature.
