for all sullivan's endless professions of noble orwellian objectivity, 'of no party,' etc etc, i can think of few political commentators more prone to gushy, uncritical hero-worship of powerful ppl.

I'd prefer if Sully went the weaselly George Will route and wrote Obama speeches while evaluating his debate performance in columns.

I don't always agree with him but Sullivan's not a bad political blogger. He's kind of a big puppy but that's kind of entertaining and I have learned to skip a lot of his obsessions

"tmmrw, in series 56 of greenwald's ongoing series about the hypocrisies of modern political life, glenn will examine in 15 parts how american liberals defend obama. part 13, points 36 through 92 deal extensively with jonathan chait's own failings on this issue. 92 through 153, and appendixes g-k deal with andrew sullivan."

doesn't greenwald's obsessions with the minutia of daily punditry bullshit annoy you at all? he's just as bad as politico, just one step removed. writing about how other writers are superficial doesn't somehow make you less superficial.
― Mordy, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:37 (twelve years ago) link
that describes what is annoying about like 95% of the political commentary I see on the internet

I'd be happy with an ocassional statement relating the minutia to the bigger picture, or noting that it is minutia. Also, it would be interesting if Greenwald suddenly began getting included in more mainstream outlets, and if the mainstream media would at least address some of these items so they would not seem like Greenwald's little hobby horses. The whole killing an American without due process issue has largely been ignored by much of the mainstream media. No one really asked Obama about it at his last press conference.
― curmudgeon, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:49 (twelve years ago) link
we currently have a state where it is legal to shoot and kill someone under the guise of "standing your ground"; due process is and has always been a fucking fantasy in this country
