For You Curiosity Seekers
No, this blog hasn't launched yet. It will soon. You can look around to get an idea what we'll be doing here -- with your help. Everyone: right, left, center, blue, red, purple.
Here's an example of the kind of punditry that will be exposed here, and the manner in which we'll expose it:
Pundit: Michelle Malkin
Wing: Right
Offending quotation: "While Haleigh clings to life, I've pondered how we might help persuade the plug-pullers to put off the child's state-sanctioned death sentence. I propose nominating her for a Nobel Prize. It bought Tookie Williams five extra years."
Category of offense: Straw man
Demagogy index: 7
Pundit: James Brady
Wing: Left
Offending quotation: "Now I understand why Dick Cheney keeps asking me to go hunting with him. I had a friend once who accidentally shot pellets into his dog -- and I thought he was an idiot."
Category of offense: Personal attack
Demagogy index: 5
While we haven't launched yet, if you run across a pundit statement that particularly irks you, please go ahead and send it to us. We'll ultimately have a form up for you to use, but in the meantime just send it to tips@mediaorchard.com.
