Washington Post's Dave Weigel Resigns After Mocking Conservatives

The art of journalism died between 1972 and 1974, with Watergate scandal. Since then, journalist have become hit-men assigned to down public figures. Particularly those that have political disagreements with.

I'll use Weigel's own words to express my reaction to his "resignation": HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

No surprise here, the media treats conservatives like a joke even when they pretend not to.

This is my kind of reporter! lol

Good, i believe that any Bigot who refuses to at least look at both sides of a given issue, before making it's mind up about that issue, should NOT be a Reporter. Upon closer inspection I have have realized that the best thing for America is most often right down the center of the debate, Take the best that both sides have to offer and throw away the pork that's left over.

Many of the political truths we cling to, greatly depend on our own point of view. We are willing to accept, justify, and defend the faults, failings, mistakes, and shortcomings of those who we like and support. On the other hand, for those we do not like, nor support we are more than willing to hold the very same things against them. We tend to want to think, that our view, and those who hold similar views are always right, and anyone who dares disagree with us is therefore wrong. It is far easier to with those we like, and it is to disagree. It is harder still to admit we agree with someone we not like, or normally disagree with. Everyone has a right to their own opinion, but keep in mind that most of the time our opinions are solely based on our own perception of the so called facts. Before pointing out the faults of the other side, look at your own side, and see the very same faults. Granted, there is a double standard, but is because we allow it, and fail to see the other's side view point with open objectivity. So before you go and find fault with someone else's view point, be sure to look at the faults with your own.

Too bad. Guess what one sends around comes back.

This is as it should be. With the current trend in politics, there is no way that a newspaper can stay in business with only a liberal appeal. At one time, this might have been an excellent ploy, but with the current division that the administration is causing, the number of conservatives and moderates are really outnumbering the liberals. There is an expectation that more and more liberals will face the same conclusion and resign their posts. This also supports the need for a more civil approach and end of the name calling as supported by Politics Daily.

If this is the standard all the talking heads on Fox News should resign immediately. Fox News repeatly tells lies about Obama and the Democrats.

These are really pathetic hateful remarks to come from either side. In this case it was a Liberal in disguise, but either way this behavior is really bringing done the trust & credibility of the media. I really think it is high time that all the major Journalistic & Media outlets hault the presses for a couple of hours and do an inhouse clean-up. You can have your beliefs, but when you take a pen to paper to write a story that a wide variety of people are going to read, it is time to try and be objective. When the press fails to do this, then the people as a whole fail to do this because they are getting their opinions from the various writers in this country. This all results in the extinction of public discourse and the ability to hear another point of view. Walter Cronkite was an avowed liberal but for the most part (besides his egregious declartion that the Vietnam War was lost)he maintained a balanced objective reporter. This simply does not exist anymore, and this is dangerous to the future of our country
