Liberal Media Alert!

Time magazine's managing editor wanted "star writers" who would help push the magazine toward "a stronger point of view." In addition, he "thinks a leaner, more opinionated magazine spells the future of Time" (yes, because more opinion and less news reporting is exactly what the media needs!).

One new 'star' is... Weekly Standard editor William Kristol; he'll be a part-time columnist.

For those unfamiliar with Kristol, he is the chairman of the Project For A New American Century, the official neocon thinktank. No one outside of the Bush administration was more influential in the intellectual genesis of the Iraq war than Mr. Kristol. Yep, the same war that most people now agree to be the greatest foreign policy blunder of our generation (and Mr. Kristol believes the solution to said blunder is invading more countries in the region). And yet Kristol, and his ilk, are continuously rewarded for their failures with more cushy gigs.

I wonder how often us crazy liberals will have to be right before we get a job in the liberal media.
