Fish Wrap’s Ross Douthat Finally Figures Out The Liberal Spin On Libya

He seems to be the only one. For the most part, the liberal media pundits have ignored the Libyan actions. In all the major liberal sources, most are avoiding any sort of editorials, for or against, “Obama’s war,” even while Obama’s liberal base is up in arms in slamming Obama.

Apparently, We Need NPR TO Fill A Gap

The Washington Post attempted to defend National Public Radio, ie, government funded radio Thursday.
