Blogosphere 1, NYT 0

Patterico shreds a New York Times editorial on judicial nominations and filibusters. Shows you what can happen when an amateur goes up against a pro. The professional in this case being the blogger and the amateur being the NYT editorial writer who knows how to turn a phrase, but neither understands law now knows how to tell the truth.

One of these days, the bigshots of Big Media are going to really grasp the concept that they can't get away with their old tricks of spin and misinformation anymore, that there's this thing called "Google" and this thing called "the blogosphere" that does a much better job fact-checking Big Journalism than Big Journalism ever did on its own.
