Kristol also is a regular contributor to Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume.

one of the world's most prestigious news outlets has apparently given this thug space on the most valuable media real estate in existence.

The writer must be referring to Fox News. He can't be referring to the Slimes as "one of the world's most prestigious news outlets" unless he's insane.

I guess being wrong about 100 percent of the time over the last decade leads to riches and fame.

Just how big a pansy is the writer if he considers Kristol a “thug”?

CBS is getting desperate too. Steve Benen sounds like he may be going over the edge. I hope he takes Walter Cronkite with him.

It is silly. Time got rid of him and some other right leaners
because they are a left wing magazine. The print news mag business is dying anyway.

Could it be that the NYT's has seen the light?
