Say It Ain't So Already

Does the Washington Post Expect Anything of Dana Milbank?

Back in the day — four or five years ago — when I first started blogging at the News Hounds, wingers and skeptics jumped on every single teeny tiny mistake I made.  A misplaced comma, a bad link — you name it; they ripped me to shreds.

It didn’t take long for me to realize that my credibility was on the line as was everything I wrote.  What I “said” had to be researched, documented and pretty much perfect or else my whole persona was suspect and if I screwed up, it reflected badly not only on me, but on my fellow bloggers.

Bearing that in mind, I wonder why someone like Dana Milbank still has a job, at the formerly august Washington Post no less.  (I’m thinking about the long-gone class and professionalism that Katharine Graham had but that her kids and grandkids have squandered.)

So, anyway, does Milbank know how to use the Google?  Guess not.
