The Post is getting played

Washington Post national politics editor is being used as a tool of the Republican National Committe.

Who is the "conservative blogger" that John Harris cites? His name is Patrick Ruffini http://www.patrickruffini.com/. More interesting, Patrick Ruffini is eCampaign Director at the Republican National Committee http://www.patrickruffini.com/archives/2005/10/same_fight.php.

Shouldn't John Harris have told Jay Rosen that Patrick Ruffini is not some grassroots "conservative blogger" outraged at Froomkin's bias but rather a Republican operative engaged in working the ref?

Go ahead and read what John Harris apparently believes are Dan Froomkin's examples of "liberal bias." You'll laugh. You'll cry.

UPDATE: Brad DeLong's link seems to have disappeared. But here's a link that gets to the same point. F'rinstnace:

UPDATE: Pure bias:

It is flatly un-American for people to be hauled out of a public event with the president of the United States because of, say, a political bumper sticker on their car.
But is it too much to ask the White House to say so?

Apparently.

Oy vey.

Heh. Indeedy.
