From today’s Q&A with Howard Kurtz
Anonymous: Michelle Malkin has been loud, rude and wrong on just about any topic she has ever opined upon. Any chance you will ever profile any of the bloggers who have been serious, thoughtful and correct? Also, as the right-wing already dominates AM talk radio, cable news and other media, right-wing bloggers are seemingly marginalized. In contrast, real liberal points of view (Krugman and Dionne excepted) mostly are confined to the Internet. It seems as if these “new” voices are a far more interesting phenomena.

Modern Media Criticism = Balancing fluff pieces about batshit crazy conservatives with fluff pieces about slightly less batshit crazy conservatives and calling it a day. Of course, the slightly less batshit crazy designation is highly debatable.
