I suppose it is ironic that some of the best reporting in the world comes from the Wall Street Journal, but they have the single most disgusting editorial page I have seen. They lie and distort with impunity as they proved with a recent editorial on Al Franken's victory in the Minnesota Senatorial campaign .
538 was the first to take the editorial apart, piece by piece, and show that the WSJ editorial was dishonest with almost every word of the column. Even better, Steve Benen of the Washington Monthly pointed to a great letter to the WSJ by one of the members of the Minnesota State Canvassing Board. Great stuff.
One can only assume, based on the tone of the editorial, the numerous inaccuracies, and the over-the-top slam at Al Franken ("tainted and undeserving?") that had Norm Coleman come out on top in this recount, the members of the Board would have been praised as "strong-willed, intelligent, and perceptive."We won't hold our breath waiting for that editorial to appear.
