Morning wingnut outrage: Someone said "spooning" on CNN, and
that's Teh Sex! Morning meta-debate: does criticism of the
NYT's Benghazi story require on-the-ground reporting?
Greg Dworkin focuses the morning madness with a round of ACA stories. Charles Gaba (aka
Brainwrap) gets
front page WaPo notice for his signup calculations. Greg's next story becomes the first hour obsession, the NBC coverage of how ACA implementation was
impacting employees of a Michigan car dealership. But not before distracting us with the very wonkish notion of
carving time up into infinitely small slices, to see if we can defeat federal health care policy. Or something. Then we double back to dissect that NBC News story, and it doesn't look like it holds up. The NSA is in the news again, and we read Cory Doctorow's
treatment of the
big Der Spiegel story. Also: Bloomberg reveals the new American Caymans, in
South Dakota.
