Dana Mountebank

Highly objective Washington Post reporter Dana Milbank on MSNBC, objectively discussing Dick Cheney's recent hunting accident:



How many one-on-one interviews have we seen, ad nauseam, where self-proclaimed "liberal" (read "leftist") reporters claim that their political beliefs have absolutely no influence over their reportorial objectivity? If you still believe that line after something like this, you will probably deserve whatever happens to you next.

This stunt—for that is precisely what it is—permanently removes any credibility Milbank might have as a reporter. Ironically, he now works as both a reporter and a columnist for the Post, and claims that one role has no influence over another. In this contest between columnist and reporter, we leave it to you as to which role will win out every time.

No doubt another case of "fake but accurate."

Hat tip to Michelle Malkin for the pix. And check out the link here for a Republican antidote to this charming grafik.
