Wherever Democrats look, they sense their powerlessness. Even when they look to the media, they feel that conservatives have the upper hand. Conservatives think this is ludicrous. We may have Rush and Fox, conservatives say, but you have ABC, NBC, CBS, the New York Times.

--David Brooks in The Weekly Standard

Today a full chapter from Ann Coulter's new book, Treason, complete and unedited, footnotes and all, was posted with no critical commentary whatsoever -- at the ABC News Web site.

Al Franken, Molly Ivins, and Joe Conason all have new books coming out soon. Gee, David, do you think RushLimbaugh.com or FoxNews.com will ever post unedited chapters from any of those books, without criticism? (As opposed to, say, posting something like this?)
