The WaPo's Pollution, Cont'd.

Matt Yglesias writes about the WaPo's contempt for its readers in continuing to allow the valuable space on its op/ed page to be used by global climate change denier George "Quill" Will. The same critique would apply to pathological Obama-hater Charles Kraphammer, who has yet to write an op/ed that doesn't include a churlish ad hominem attack on the "Messiah complex" he ascribes to the President, but that exists only in his own twisted mind.

With the Congressional Quarterly/Hill papers, and the WaPo itself having laid off numerous reporters in the name of corporate profit maximizing, wouldn't it be nice if a George Soros, for example, would hire some of them and finance a new, progressive paper in the Washington area to compete with the Moonie Times and the Kaplan Daily?
