Fat wealthy white man say what? I can't wait to read your assuredly equal reaction when the "conservative" pundit is named.

If the conservative guy is as crass, muckraking, and consistently wrong as Markos, I will say the same thing.
I never said I didn't have opinions.

'Muckraking'
Apparently Mark you don't seem to realize that, in journalism, muckraking is a good thing.
This nation has suffered a serious decline in muckraking over the past quarter century.
Does the name Ida Tarbell mean anything to you?
Are you totally unfamiliar with this nation's history?

Well said... yes, diverse opinions are important. But it's sad that the people they choose to represent the 'left' and 'right' are those at the ridiculous extremes. Like Anne Coulter, Markos Moulitas' opinions are based on a sort of vile hatred than any sort of fundamental philosophy about governance.

At least Markos served in the military.

Mark, exercise those opinions and share with us why you think Markos Moulitas is "consistently wrong".
I think he's rad and applaud Newsweek for expanding his reach.

By no stretch of the imagiantion is Markos extreme or radical.
Markos is closer to what was once called the "vital center," that consensus around which the nation was governed and politics was practiced for nearly five decades in the 20th century. The five greatest decades in our nation's history.
It is to Newsweek's credit that they've hired someone who may quite possibly cover a campaign as it should be covered.
Markos knows the real issues, the policy positions of each candidate.
Over the years, ignoring policy in campaign reporting has left the public with little or no understanding of what they'll get in the way of public policy once a candidate is elected.
The results of 'horserace,' 'gotchya,' 'he said, she said,' and meaningless personal trivia reporting have been catastrophic as the last six years, ten months have clearly demonstrated.

Are you kidding me, Cal? Muckraking has suffered a decline?
You must be either willfully ignorant, or cherry-picking your facts. Do you remember the Clinton Impeachment? What about the Scooter Libby trial? How about Memo-gate? What about Iran-Contra's arms-for-hostages scandal? What about Watergate?
Muckraking is alive and well, and generally does little but polarize the country and distract from actual policy-making. I'm not saying bad deeds should go unpunished, but let's get real here, Moulitas and company has never engaged in muckraking for positive results, only for profit.
That's a social crime - distracting from the issues that matter.
