And I would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling, Liberal kids!
Since Andrew "Dice" Sullivan's most recent very successful business model (expropriating Liberal critiques of the Right by the job-lot, decanting them into old Jovan Musk for Men bottles, relabeling them as "True Conservatism" and selling them off the back of his truck for $20 a pop while never, ever acknowledging that the Left was right all along) depends entirely on the Big Centrist "Both Sides Do It" Lie, every so often he has to chase the nosy ideological revenuers away by publishing unalloyed bullshit like this with a completely straight face (h/t Balloon Juice):
Let me first second Kirsten Powers’ loathing for Media Matters’ campaign to shame and target individuals for appearing on Fox News. But the memo she cites is from a year ago. And I have to say that even if it means agreeing with David Brock, I’m afraid I have to confess that I do not regard Fox News as a legitimate news organization. It’s a propaganda channel for the far right, and not much worse than MSNBC’s leftist partisan smugbursts. And an administration, in my view, should be open to all at regular press conferences (okay, not heckling by the Daily Caller) … but does not have to legitimize propaganda machines by appearing on them. I’d keep off MSNBC and Fox if I were in any administration. They both poison our discourse. Let these propaganda channels put talk radio on TV all day if they want. You don’t have to enable them.

(Well, heroin.)
(You know what I mean!)
Wouldn't you just love to watch Rachel Maddow 'poison' Sully's discourse?
I guess pointing out that Sullivan is now just promoting light-weigt liberalism would be more of that Stalinesque MSNBC propaganda. Because what Driftglass said: Homosexuals don't get invited to the white house, I get invited to the white house, therefore I cannot be homosexual (re. J. Edgar)
Is there a false equivalence Oscar?

There's a difference between lying and having a political point of view.
Of course, Sullivan has no interest in noting something like that. Wouldn't be prudent.

Good morning, Mr. Glass.
So Mr. Sullivan whines about Fox not allowing him on, then calls them a propaganda channel?
Reminds me of the scene in the first "Men in Black" where, after the housewife is neuralized, Agent J gives her an elaborate story about how she left her husband (not the other way around), because the truth was too "weak ass".
" It’s a propaganda channel for the far right, and not much worse than MSNBC’s leftist partisan smugbursts. "
Might I point out to "smug" Andrew that those "partisan smug bursts" are maybe smug because they deal in real facts and truth, while much of what is said on Faux Noise is made out of whole cloth?
