Definately high quality journalism. Any time a well respected member of the mainstream media takes on Republican propaganda pimps such as Murdoch and Ailes and exposes their partisan poisoning of news reporting it is a welcome defense of the once respected profession of journalism. Fox News has gotten away with a amazing con job on it's viewers. It's brainwashed these uninformed Republican voters that un-American hopes for failure of the government and demonizing attacks on the ... More »

Because it is factual and offers an in depth report on a issue of the day the main stream media is being bullied to not examine or report in depth on. Instead the mainstream media is just publishing accusations with no factual push back.

No it is incredibly biased and superficial and taken out of context of the history of Hamas and it's provocations of Israel from Gaza.

It is based on facts period.

Yes it's quality journalism because it presents the speech objectively with no bias.

yes, any exposure of the GOP and Coleman's contempt for the law and the electoral process is good journalism. There needed to be manymore articles about this ugly attempt by the Republicans to overturn the will of the people.

It's an important story and needs to be publicized.

Not really journalism but quality satire.

Incomplete. It tells the where and the when but not the why a hardcore GOP partisan would cross his party?

It gives the ordinary reader insights into the talks that are not mentioned on Cable News or or most daily newspapers.

It is timely journalism, but too little too late.

Because it is truly objective and non-partisan. Even critical of Obama's politicizing over the rule of law.

It is quality journalism because it is factual, and just like Joseph Welch standing up to McCarthy's lies and asking him if he has any sense of decency, not one single Republican has stood up to the right wing propaganda machine of Fox News, and the hate talkers, Hannity, Limbaugh, Beck, and the RNC and their lies and harmful and undemocratic attacks on the President and the will of the people. Never in the history of this country has a political party so totally disregarded facts ... More »

Yes it is quality journalism, because it is taking on and revealing unprecedented corruption in the previous administration which the mainstream press is incapable or under corporate oders not to expose to the level of the seriousness of the criminal intent.

It's a good observation on Limbaugh and a interesting opinion piece. As a op ed article worthy of a read and provoking thoughts it's excellent journalism.

This is not only good journalism but revealing, relevant and frightening. Not only did this pre-emptive disruption of Constitutional rights happen so openly, but it shockingly didn't even get mentioned by any of the media. If it wasn't for Amy Goodman's arrest and her producer, it would not have even been mentioned on the progressive talk shows and blogs. What has Bush done to this once great Democracy?

Who knows how many other covert examples of criminal corruption the Bush Administration was involved in while Rove was a special advisor to the President? Even Scott McClellan a Bush insider called Rove a lier and one who put the "Permanent campaign" (partisan politics) above the truth and the law. What is most compelling and frightening about this great investigative journalism is the bigger picture of how our Justice system and election process has been criminally corrupted by ... More »

One glaring mistake in the article. The mortgage securities Fannie Mae and Freddie Mc unload on wall street are guaranted by them, unlike Countywide and other banks. Thus , if the loans are defaulted on by the borrowers, Fannie Mae and Freddie have to make them good. They have around $5 trillion out in these guaranted mortgage loans sold as securities. This is why this is so critical, even the government couldn't afford to cover this amount. However, because the loans we're gauranted ... More »

What the story fails to do is put the blame for our faltering economy on the Republican Administration where it belongs. It fails to point out how "trickle down" has not worked, just as it didn't work when Reagan was President. It fails to point out the politics of our severe economic downturn. How the Bush/Cheny secretive energy policies have led to these high energy costs. How Bush lied in 2004 re-election campaign about job creation and never mentioned how the whole consumer ... More »

This is not journalism or reporting it is pure pro Hamas and Hezbollah propaganda. If Ms Cobban was in a country run by either of her political ideals, Hamas and Hezbollah, she would be eliminated, if she dared to write something like this that didn't agree with their extremist Islamic dogma. Let me explain it simply for Ms Cobban. If Hamas or Hezbollah had the military might of Israel..........Where Israel and all it's population once stood would be scorched earth! There is no ...

It basically repeats in print all the points McCain made in his campaign speech, with zero analysis. The story read like a campaign ad for John McCain for President. It also exaggerated the size of the audience by calling it a "packed" auditorium. When it was in reality a few hundred Republicans. It made no mention of McCain's "flip flopping" on issues he previously supported Bush and now is opposing.
