Right-wing blogosphere once again proves that they have no clue what they're talking about.  Powerline and Michelle Malkin lecturing about journalistic standards?  That's a bit rich.  Because, as August Pollak notes, journalism is about the truth, not just what you want to be the truth.

I also like Oliver's take:

This is not an isolated incident folks, this happens all the time. During the run-up to this year's elections I had to ask if I was crazy or what for not seeing the same reality the conservatives swore up and down that they were seeing. They claimed that the polls were rigged, that the media was engaged in a conspiracy with the Democrats, and that the Republicans would hold the House and Senate. They said this when someone could have dropped in from Mars, looked at the numbers and told Dennis Hastert to clean out his Speaker's desk and wipe up the slime trail behind him. But like they did with Iraq, Katrina, Terri Schiavo, and any of five million issues over the last ten years the right was wrong.

No, not just "wrong". Amazingly, freakishly, mind-numblingly wrong. . .

They are wrong in everything they do. They will be wrong until the cows come home, and even then they will see goats where there are only cows.

Has Oliver Willis ever done anything to elevate any debate? He's no different than the rightwingers he constantly rags on.
