Jennifer Rubin's Weird Mitt Romney Loyalty

Good god, Galupo and Steim: neither of you have a clue as to what
"objective" means, and it shows all too much in your reporting.
Please don't think that everyone here is stupid enough to swallow the myth that your columns are "objective" or "fair" or "right" on the whole - your highly un-fair, un-right, and un-objective biases are blindingly obvious to anyone with half a brain.

Hi, Jamie --
I think we actually agree. The sense in which I'm using "objective" is closer to your "fair" and "right." It's the pretense of "neutrality" that bothers me about Rubin. That's the critical distinction: journalists can and should always strive to be "objective." They need not be neutral.

I notice you are always posting on columnists. I also notice that you use "objective" as if it's a good thing. News: there is no such thing as "objective," in one's opinion. I worked for 10 years for the BaltSun and know the art of shoeleather reporting. The best journalists - reporters and columnists alike- should strive for "fair" and "right" instead. That is humanly possible.

Geeze, Galupo. What's all this facination with other "conservative' commentators?
Are you finding that you cannot measure up to them in real life, and there have to elevate yourself above them (in your mind at least) by trying to cut them down in some fashion?
Your own weird fixation on the supposed foibles of your supposed peers is, well, weird.

Who in Hades is Jennifer Robin, Jeffrey Lord, and all of the other "who-dat" people you continue to reference, or attempt to "popularize", Galupo??
I suspect these are ghostly figures brought about by your little back-room conjuring. You know, the room with all the beads hanging from your windows and doors and the cheap brown print carpet you've tacked onto your walls!
I believe I'll conjure up a name too....
