“Weirdly, this pernicious lie that the Washington Post thought they were hiring a conservative and got a liberal instead is spreading. Maybe the old morons at the Post who don’t understand the internet thought that the paper hired a conservative and got a liberal. But what actually happened is that they hired a Libertarian Journalist and he turned out to be that. Jeffrey Goldberg, for example — who was 100% wrong on the single most important journalistic issue of the last decade, and who was rewarded for it — quotes a friend at the Post — where torture apologists regularly pen columns — as saying the Weigel hire “destroy[ed] our standards.” Goldberg himself — who, again, was as wrong as a journalist can possibly be on Iraq, and now thousands of people are dead — says the Post now hires “people who came up in journalism without much adult supervision, and without the proper amount of toilet-training.” Jeffrey Goldberg should possibly consider setting himself on fire.”
