The Media Double Standard

Fox News anchors, along with other media operatives like the AP's Ron Fournier, can flagrantly stroke the Republicans every damn day. But Dave Weigel isn't allowed to blow off steam on a private listserve.

Weigel has resigned because he said some mean things about Drudge -- IN PRIVATE -- after Drudge and others began to spam Weigel with hate mail and publish the location of Weigel's girlfriend's workplace.

If the Washington Post was half the organization it used to be, it wouldn't accept Weigel's resignation.

And Drudge is a gigantic baby in a stupid hat.
