The Media and Bain

[chieftain]

6. I've written the Post Ombundsman asking that Kessler be removed from the column.

I thought before the Bain explosion his column had become silly and worthless. But his attack on Obama goes way to far. His continued clinging to a view that is belied not only by the Globe, Mother Jones and Talking Points Memo but by reporting of his own paper is stunningly stubborn and wrong-headed.
The damage done to the "fact-checking" function is immeasurable. The fact that he has put the Post in the position of being quoted in an ad calling the President of the United States a liar marks the low point that a formerly great paper has sunk.
