Anyone Can Suck Up

In the Los Angeles Times, Margaret Carlson, overpriced and overexposed media non-talent, gripes about the absence of female network news anchors. Given Maggie's incompetence as a journalist -- here's just one example -- she's got no basis for criticizing anyone's hiring decisions.

Here's part of her idiotic analysis:

"Bloggers are like basketball fans, ready to spray beer on the stars whenever they make a mistake."

Well, there's three mistakes in one sentence:

1. You can't equate all basketball fans with beer throwers, based on a single incident involving a few fans.

2. Criticizing media stars for their dishonesty or incompetence is not the equivalent of assaulting persons with beer.

3. That's not beer.

Here's my question about media hiring. Would the L.A. Times even publish a dimwit like Carlson if she wasn't best pals with Michael Kinsley?
