To be fair this article should be wider. It takes on MSN but does not contain the idea that all should consider turning down our voices and listening to each other.

Long, rambling, defensive, and inaccurate (he gets the number shot wrong, right up front, and goes on from there)--this piece has little journalistic merit and less credibility. I watch MSNBC, and they didn't say many of the things he claims. Nobody I saw blamed Palin or conservatives for the shooting. Rather, they questioned whether our political speech has become too polarized. Keith Olberman, one of the worst examples of this, even offered to tone it down. Plus, since when was Andrew Sullivan a liberal (he's a Republican, in case anybody hadn't noticed)? And DailyKos part of the mainstream media?

This news analysis is excellent journalism. The author has written an in-depth analysis of the reaction of the media to the shootings in Tucson. She explains how the media got off track in promoting analyses of the event that had no basis in fact. More than 60 links are provided to a range of media, with the NY Times, WaPo, Boston Globe, ABC News and others, including a number of blogs. Lengthy and highly relevant quotes are included from the leading moderate voices at the Times and Post. There are a few misspellings, but otherwise this long article is very well written.
