CalPundit is troubled

I don't stick monolithically to the conservative web sites, since it's important to get viewpoints from the other side. But it seems like everytime I wander over to Calpundit or Tapped, the arguments always depend on visceral thinking rather than logical argument. Moral outrage is par for the course.

So Kevin Drum is troubled, it seems, by the Jayson Blair coverage because he feels it has focused too heavily on the fact that the dishonest New York Times reporter was black. But Drum seems to entirely miss the point readily evident to conservatives, if not the general public: the NYT tried to live by their liberal standards and pushed affirmative action in their newsroom - and it backfired spectacularly.
