Ask a Wingnut

In the article, Ask a Wingnut, the author discusses how the media is biased towards the liberal side, aka the media "unscrews to the left." The author also comments on how unlike the rumors, the media is not to blame for the GOP to lose in 2006 and 2008. Instead, the journalist remarks, "It wasn't the media that went on an orgy of spending mimicking the behavior of sailors on liberty; it was congressional Republicans. It wasn't the media that turned its back on the principles of limited government; it was the Republicans. And it wasn't the media that nominated John McCain for president (though the media helped by anointing him its favorite Republican) — it was the Republicans. So conservatives don't really blame the media for the election losses in 2006 and 2008. We blame ourselves, which is why what we have been doing, airing our internal ideological laundry in public, has been so much fun for you to watch. And for the media to cover, gleefully."

Although this wasn't one of my favorite op-eds, i think the author did answer the contributor's question well, and made it entertaining to read. I think they answered the question in an opinionated, but fair and factual, way, and that it was overall written well. Did it make me believe her opinions completely? Not really, but i think they did make a good point of trying to convince their readers. I do give them credit on the headline though, it drew me in!
