13. So does the Washington Post, who publishes not one but at least two blog posts on the issue.

They both have the same bias as the Atlantic, by which I mean, we know it is crap, but if we can have a cheap copy with this, why not.
The first one is a copy of the Herald one

But the State Department’s initial denial only made it seem like Kerry was trying to hide something.
“He doesn’t have to sneak around, he deserves [a] working vacation, but his people are cagey about saying it,” Al-Monitor reporter Laura Rozen tweeted.

Or may be reporters could report on things that are important?

This one has an interesting bias, as it compares the numerous days of Bush at his ranch to this incident, but at least, I think it comes from a good angle, but I still think they would have been better off not writing about this at all.

Or, we could stop making a big deal out of officials at rest, counting the days George W. Bush spent on his ranch during his presidency and going crazy every time Obama hits a golf ball. You’d almost think we didn’t believe in taking time off — though if anything, it should be required.


Another stage of my allergy to journalists. At least, it seems that the Post puts the blame on his staff, but they should put it squarely on CBS and the Boston Herald, and not report on what rag sheets say.
