When You Offend Someone Like This ...

... you've really gone too far.  David Zurawik writes for my hometown newspaper and, as the mostly measured tone of this piece shows, he's not given to quick or extreme judgments.  That he reaches the conclusion he reaches is not at all his fault; it's the fault of a network that engages in comic-book journalism under the guise of giving the far right "a fair shake," in Britt Hume's over-used formulation.

I'd love to give Hume and his "network" a shake.  And I wouldn't worry about whether or not it was "fair."  But I'd let the rest of you decide, of course.
