August 19th: Today, the Wa$ington Po$t quoted some anonymous source that was probably either 1) a paid shill, or 2) made up. Nevertheless, the army of twelve year olds over at the once influential blog DKos, had a temper tantrum.
Apparently, the Po$t's insistence on using a made up source who was "quoted" as using the phrase "left of the left" hit every pavlovian bell there is with a number of people over at DWeJumpedTheSharkNovember08. Also, since this source that the Po$t made up was not named, since he doesn't exist and all, the screechers at DIGaveSevenBucksWhere'sMyFuckingPony got to guess that it was, oh, Obama himself. Or at least Rahm.
Even though the archives over at DWeHateTradMedExceptForRightNow are full of sourced, credible stories about how the Po$t pays money for information and manipulates it, and also how they have no real policy for anonymous "sources", this has not caused any of the screechers to pause and reflect. Apparently, any unsourced made up bullshit from the TradMed is ok if it reflects your paranoia.
In closing: newspaper makes up shit, DKos has a fucking hissy fit. Same as it ever was.
