People Say Believe Half of What You See...

This Media Matters item is really pissing me off:

The Washington Post, in citing Post columnist George F. Will in a news article claiming that an "icy exchange between President Bush and Virginia Sen.-elect James Webb" has "angered conservatives," failed to note that Will, in his column on the incident, left out a key part of an earlier Post account of the conversation between Bush and Webb in order to assert that Webb showed "calculated rudeness."

Read it: The paper bought into Will's BS that Webb showed "calculated rudeness toward another human being" who "asked a civil and caring question." Nor did the December 2 Post article note that conservatives are not unanimous in their "anger" at Webb -- former Reagan speechwriter and Wall Street Journal contributing editor Peggy Noonan wrote that Webb has been wrongly criticized for his comments to Bush and faulted Bush for being rude to Webb." Oh, and by the way, Mort Kondracke bought into Will's BS, too.
