!re: #973 lurking faith

I checked your posts on this thread, and there’s no link that could be what you are refering to. Nothing on wikipedia/washington post/polanski. However, I guessed that you probably meant I should read wikipedia’s basic article on the Washington Post, and so I have now looked at what it said about the WaPo’s politics. Nothing I hadn’t already heard, and it doesn’t change my opinion (based on my own experience of actually reading the paper).

They aren’t crazy-left, but they are on the left.

No, you’re right, I didn’t link directly. I thought it wasn’t necessary, with wiki. And you’re also right about me reacting to the debate I had before, emotionally. sorry! I’m a bit exhausted.
I do value your experience as a long time reader, of course. However, I don’t know you, and I strongly believe that a lot of reasonable people in this country have a fairly screwed up perception of what is right, center or left. Not saying you do. Just that I don’t know.
But, commenting at the same blog, I might get to know you and thus be able to put this in perspective.
