Matt Taibbi: Lara Logan, You Suck →
Lara Logan, come on down! You’re the next guest on Hysterical Backstabbing Jealous Hackfest 2010! I thought I’d seen everything when I read David Brooks saying out loud in a New York Times column that reporters should sit on damaging comments to save their sources from their own idiocy. But now we get CBS News Chief Foreign Correspondent Lara Logan slamming our own Michael Hastings on...

BP Welcomes You to the Apocalypse →
So it’s come to this. Every day in the media, a sort of deranged, comical footrace to figure out which worst-case scenario is really the worst, because every day comes a new stat, prediction, photo, possibility for abject horror we hadn’t even conceptualized yet because, well, we’ve never exactly been here before, not at this scale.
