Adds Absolutely Nothing To Genuine Political Discourse

Hallelujah! There is a God ... or at least someone with sense enough to take out stinking garbage when it is smelling up the place. Hopefully other outlets will follow suit and drop Michelle Malkin like a bad habit.

Michelle Malkin had been added, giving another voice to the conservatives. But readers often took issue with her seemingly mean-spirited rantings and suggested that she be dropped.

Well, she’s outta here, silenced for being “too stridently anti-liberal,” the assessment of the editorial board, Hartig said.

“I was really put off by her penchant for name-calling and ad hominem attack. I think we can do much better,” said editorial writer Don Luzzatto.

Says fellow editorial writer Bronwyn Lance Chester: “I think she habitually mistakes shrill for thought-provoking and substitutes screaming for discussion. She’s an Asian Ann Coulter.

“I also think that, like Coulter, she says outrageous things just to get TV appearances and book deals. She’s the worst of what’s wrong with punditry today. She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse.”

So why did we add Malkin in the first place? I asked Chesley.

“We wanted another conservative voice on the page,” he said. “Also, she was Asian American and gave a viewpoint you don’t always hear from Asian Americans.”

Wait a minute! Rewind! Did they add her because "she was Asian American and gave a viewpoint you don’t always hear from Asian Americans?” Isn't that affirmative action? Isn't she staunchly against programs of that nature? I'm shocked that she would allow herself to be tokenized. But then again, I am sure that she thinks she is so brilliant that the Asian was never part of her appeal. Oh well, back to the point: "She adds absolutely nothing to genuine political discourse!"
