The Horror and the Outrage

Ari Melber is outraged that Newsweek let former Bush Administration official Yuval Levin write a piece for them. Apparently Melber is unable to distinguish between reporting and opinion, because he breathlessly titles his post, "Newsweek Taps Bush Aide For Obama Reporting."

If Melber is worried about a reporter's ideological bias affecting their reporting, maybe he should direct some of his idignation at Richard Wolffe, the "Senior White House correspondent" who covered Obama for the 2008 campaign for Newsweek. Wolffe was so chummy with the Obama inner circle he wrote a book about it, and hopes to write another - when he's not busy appearing on Keith Olbermann's show, that is.
