Does Jonah Goldberg Appear in Your Daily Fishwrap?

[skyzics]

He sure appears in the Kansas City Star (KnightRidder) a lot.

I personally find him to be among the most vicious and at the same time one of the most insubstantial rightwing 'pundits' in the media - right up there just below the level of Limbaugh and Coulter. I find that usually his pieces amount to a series of insults with very little actual political content. I have written to my daily fishwrap a number of times regarding his insulting and meritless pieces, but of course rarely get a response. I always CC my criticisms to Johah Goldberg at [email protected] . Once I actually got a response. Here it follows and I quote: 'Yawn.' The response was perhaps more concise but just as insubstantial as his oped pieces, I would say.
By the way, for those who do not know, he is the son of Lucianne Goldberg of Linda Tripp/Monica fame.

Here is his latest piece I responded to:

Oddly, a few paragraphs seem to be missing in that version and The National Review is not even holding an archive of that particular column - at least that I can see.

Anyway, I was just wondering who else out in DU land finds Goldberg to be particurly offensive while bereft of any redeeming political value, as I do, and if your major local daily subjects you to him as ours does on a regular basis here.

1. Johah Goldberg is a no-talent - pure and simple.

The ONLY reason he is even somewhat relevant is because of his mother, Lucianne.

BTW, Jonah..please come out the closet. You are SO obvious!

3. Hmm..

The KC Star used to get a lot of complaints about Coulter when they used to run her smears on a regular basis - once even in the religion section Saturday. That was the last they had of Coulter in that paper, that I saw. It seems that Jonah started appearing on the oped page about the time they stopped running Coulter.

Six of one, half a dozen of another.

2. I agree Goldberg is putrid but I think Cliff May is the most insidious,

slimy, right wing propogandist I've seen on TV so far...He seems to be able to talk over everyone he's pitted against and to always get the last word....I can't stand him!!!!

4. Can't say I've had the pleasure..

to see the guy. (Small favors.) I'll keep a heads up.
