Tweet of the Day: “You wrote that with a straight with a straight face?” edition

**Posted by Phineas

From left-wing “pundit” Oliver Willis, a “senior fellow” at that notably unbiased paragon of journalistic integrity, Media Matters for America:

conservative media is largely about punditizing, limbaugh style, while liberal media leans much more towards actual reporting.

Tell me another funny one, Ollie.

Look, I don’t mind journalists advocating a point or expressing an opinion, but don’t insult my intelligence by pretending a) that you aren’t when you are and b) that the MSM isn’t heavily biased toward the progressive-statist (PDF) end of the spectrum, the political and cultural Left.

PS: Hi, Oliver. I guess blocking me wasn’t all that effective. Darn.

Oliver thinks he’s brighter than us Neanderthal conservatives, too. But then, the prevalent conviction among liberals is that “liberalism is all you need” to be indisputably brighter and more moral than any non-liberal.

Thomas Sowell calls this the left-liberal “vision of differential rectitude.”

The dictionary defines pundit as “a learned person”, however there is no such word as “punditizing”. An obvious Sesame Street dropout.

Oliver was looking in a mirror when he made those comments. What a joke. If anything… it’s the Liberals who are always distorting and lying and pretending to care about the Middle Class. Just take a gander at some recently published US History textbooks… written by Liberal professors/Marxist ideologists–to see the distortions and out right LIES.
