Just one more “source” for the RWNJs to cite.

A Heritage Foundation staffer told Business Week off the record that there will be a special section to entice readers, which will focus on inappropriate comparisons of laws and government regulations to catastrophic historical events or crimes against humanity. Slated for inclusion in the debut issue: “Why the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938 is just like Stalin’s pogroms.”

I’m sure they’ll give equal time to the far right and the radical right.

If DeMint has his hand in it, it’s not going to be fair or straight.

The Heritage Foundation could not go straight down the middle with a ruler.

A “Propaganda” product brought to you by money in the hands of a scoundrel. Will we survive the assaults on the 1st and 2nd Amendments?

I had no idea that Josh was starting a humor section for TPM.

If anyone believes this news site would be “straight down the middle” and objective … I 've got this bridge …

So I guess it’ll be Balanced and Fair. Instead of Fair and Balanced. There’s a big difference.

Another plot to try and make the extreme right look moderate. That’s all it is. A game of semantics.
They have been doing it for years in one form or another.

Do even the wingnuts believe this nonsense?

Or do they just nod mutely?

They should change their name from the Heritage Foundation to the Heritage Ad Agency. And they could have an underwriting name of: promoter of extreme right-wing BS.

Straight down the middle of DeMint’s ass crack.

It will be chock full of “fakts”

You know, I read a piece on the Blaze about Cliven Bundy pre-racist-rant that was remarkably fair, so I suppose there’s a chance, but Heritage in it’s current iteration exists to bend and break facts to fit into their crackpot theories.

I am not sanguine about it being particularly fair

Straight down the middle…ROFL…I’m sure they mean straight down the middle of WND and the Blaze…
