http://www.thepeoplesview.net/main/2014/7/29/is-chris-cillizza-jockeying-for-a-job-on-fox
Luckily for Cilliza, his form of journalistic malpractice and incompetence is now more often the commonplace rule rather than the exception in our national media landscape. When Cillizza, a supposed progressive and a frequent guest on the supposedly liberal network MSNBC, can publish these types of malicious columns clearly targeted at promoting a right wing meme in the supposedly mainstream Washington Post, all semblance of a fair media, let alone a liberal one, has been purged. By hook or by crook, the right wing has coopted the message of the mainstream.
Perhaps Cillizza's concoction is unintentional. Perhaps this is just brainwashing from too much hob-knobbing in the halls of power. Or perhaps Cillizza is looking for a job with Fox News. We can't be sure. But we can be sure he's advancing the cause of right wing conservative lies, witting or unwitting makes no difference.
For the rest of us, Cillizza's hit piece should serve as a key example of the need to diversify the media - away from the white-privileged (please, before you troll, learn the difference between white and white-privilege) corners of Washington and New York. The air in that bubble is poisoned, right wing, and callous, with the worst regard for the truth, let alone journalistic ethics.

Since he is wrong most of the time, I stopped paying any attention to his blog quite a few years ago.
