No she's not. She writes an opinion column. Two different things. “She’s a reporter”.

Please show me the most recent piece of reporting she's done. What she really is is an unprincipled narcissist. Sort of like a softer spoken Ann Coulter. She’s a reporter and columnist…

She's held up as an example of such by her employers at the Times. Beyond that, she's not a good "independent" voice on anything, for the basic reason that she plays fast and loose with the facts, perpetuating mythology about things like John Edwards' hair or "Al Gore claimed he invented the internet", and generally presenting inaccuracies repeatedly. That is, of course, until those talking points become no longer fashionable ... at which point she makes fun of them. MoDo is a quintessential purveyor of journalism/commentary as high school popularity contest. (Or inside-the-beltway popularity contest.) She's ALL about that, and not about actual facts or meaning. She sucks real bad, and it's not really to do with whether she's liberal or conservative. Yes, MoDo is “supposed to be” a liberal, for exactly the reason Susie states.

The New York Times management uses her as an example every time liberals complain about all the conservative voices on the op-ed pages. So if she's what we can count on as a liberal (that is, not very liberal at all), then we are shut out of the discussion on the opinion pages of our most influential newspaper.

She's a reporter and columnist, not a paid employee of the Democratic Party. I like that she is independent. I also think she sincerely wants Obama to win. As I say in my blog, Dowd is like a horror movie fan that has seen the left for dead Clinton campaign spring back to life to attack poor naive Obambi. She's just throwing popcorn at the screen trying to get him to drive a stake through her heart. Only she doesn't have one. Is she supposed to be?
