Should Journalists Do Journalism? A Debate

Michael Kinsley, having long since lost his fastball, has become above all become committed to complacency. His pose is not exactly that he’s the only one to tell the truth: that everything is just fine. It’s more that we might reluctantly admit that injustices exist, but we shouldn’t do anything about them, particularly if this might mean conflict with our rightful overlords.

So when it comes to Kinsley v. Greenwald, I guess it’s not surprising that I’m strongly inclined to agree with Isquith. But more when I have a chance to finish Greenwald’s book.
