The WSJ is getting desperate

Their latest editorial 'Lou Dobbs Takes On the World' (opinionjournal . com/columnists/dhenninger/?id=110004778) has more than a whiff of desperation about it. All they have is ad hominem attacks and attempts to impugn his motives. Along the way, they act as apologists for the liberal media. The WSJ seriously doubts what Lou Dobbs says because the rest of CNN and the rest of the media doesn't cover it. I guess they're able to completely forget about media bias when it's biased in their direction.

Reason Magazine is another Dobbs basher and, like the WSJ, it's frequently not on the topics he covers so much as cavils about quotes on his homepage (reason . com/hitandrun/004539.shtml) and the like.

Here's past WSJ coverage:

A "Conservative" Statement of Principles on Immigration

"Earth to WSJ"

My comments on "Our Border Brigades: The nativist right is wrong."

"Let Their People Come"

See the quote from the WSJ here about immigrants depressing wages.
