Comic Relief at the L.A. Times

Robert Fisk in his element

In what appears to be a light-hearted end-of-the-year prank on its readers, the Los Angeles Times today published an op-ed article on how reporters in the Middle East aren't "telling it like it is." That's not funny. What's funny was the choice of author: Robert Fisk!

Why did the clowns at the LA Times editorial page give a forum to Fisk's predictable, putrid, phoned-in rant? Oops! I just answered my question.

UPDATE: Good fisking of Bozo the Fisk at Soccer Dad, who links to Don Singleton, LGF, and BrothersJudd.
