Dear Eric Holder,
Thank you for not dropping the hammer on us after that little hiccup with the economy several years back. Here is your cushy 7-figure job that any medicore lawyer would be qualified to do.
Signed,

Journalism can't involve opinions?
The likes of Taibbi, Michael Hastings, William Greider, H.S Thompson, and Joe Klein have written journalistic pieces for RS for decades.

Just the facts as seen through a Republican lens is real journalism
everything else is hippie drivel

No, journalism can't involve opinions. It should involve FACTS. Opinions are meant for editorials.

I liked the article - I was being sarcastic about RS's journalistic cred re: UVa, etc
of course journalism incorporates opinion

FLASH! AFL/CIO destroys Scott Walker with one tweet!
It wasn't quite a
