My daughter has a good idea for the mainstream media. Why tiptoe around rampant bias? Here’s an idea that might be called Dead Tree Journalism 2.0:
So, to the Washington Post, which runs a story today under the doleful headline, “A Positively Negative Home Stretch,” I say, why not go all out and just start writing with emoticons instead of words? Politics is a grown-up’s game, and if they insist on infantilizing both voters and their commentary, they might as well be honest about it, placing very clear smiley, winky faces under Barack Obama’s picture and frowny, disgusted faces under John McCain’s.
