MWO: Fighting muck with muck?

moreLikeThis has some interesting links about Media Whores Online, a site that does media criticism, gonzo-style, using the scorched earth rhetorical style of the right wing pundits. Something like FAIR channeling Limbaugh or Coulter.

It seems Spinsanity has taken then to task for engaging in the same underhanded dirty fighting we see on the right. Debate ensue! Check it out.

zizka: It is just plain false that MWO uses the worst tactics of the right…Accusations of treason and threats of violence [are the worse of the right’s tactics]

Patrick Hayden: In fairness to MWO, I really don’t think the issue is whether they’re “biased” or not… After all, Fox News claims to be “unbiased”, too, and they’re not even aspiring to satire; they’re just lying.

Whump: The response has been that the Right fights dirty and playing nice doesn’t work. But accepting [that] means that the audience — the American polity — is either too stupid or jaded to listen to rational argument.
