Just another example of WaPo ignoring conservatives

Check out who the Washington Post turned to for an assessment of President Obama's "Media Offensive":
The Post asked political experts what, if anything, President Obama has gained from his media offensive. Below are contributions from Karl Rove, Douglas E. Schoen, Dan Schnur, Ed Rogers, Dana Perino, Linda Chavez, and Lanny J. Davis.
If you're keeping score at home, that's five Republicans and two Democrats -- and neither of the Democrats -- Schoen and Davis -- are from the progressive wing of the party. (Doug Schoen -- a Fox News contributor -- joined Rove and the Republicans in criticizing Obama's efforts, saying he should have gone on Fox to reach swing voters. Lanny Davis -- a Washington Times columnist -- said the White House needs to appeal to people like ... Lanny Davis. And where is Lanny Davis on health care reform? He opposes a public option, much like the corporate interests that pay him. And Schoen and Davis are the Democrats the Post sought out.)
I guess this is another example of how the Washington Post needs to be more responsive to conservatives.
UPDATE: The last time the Post did one of these "occasional features," they featured five Republicans and three Democrats (one the chair of the DLC.)
Having an equal number of Democrats and Republicans would certainly be a radical agenda.
Let's not forget that the WaPo is a FAVORITE example cited by con's as a LIBERAL media source. So try to wrap your tiny brain around this: If they "doesn't subscribe to [MMFA's] agenda" can they REALLY be called a liberal news source? Try not to let that contradiction give you too much of a headache.

WTF?!
It amazes me that these con's can be confronted so many points of clear, hard evidence like the piece above, and yet still cling to their belief that somehow only Fox represetns the mainstream.

Just how brainwashed ARE these people?
- Creationism (sorry, Intelligent Design)
- George W. Bush was a great president
- Ronald Reagan was a great president (oh wait, the MSM do report that)
- Palin would be a great president
- Glenn Beck gathered 2 million people in DC
- Iraq had WMDs and backed 9/11
- Obama was born in Kenya
- Acorn is corrupt, and has something relevant to do with Obama
- Glenn Beck is a thoughtful political commentator (oh wait, they report that too)
- and on and on
I mean... How much easier would my blogging pursuits be, and how much more popular might I be if I'd I could just STFU and embrace that conventional wisdom, huh? Then I could be every bit as loved as Glenn Beck, right?
LOL.

Can you get that job and KEEP your soul? Is that possible?

I did not realize that Fox News catered to the swing votes... I did not realize they were a centrist news organization, unless they believed Obama could swing further to the right to snag some of those people who believe dinosaurs roamed with man or those who carry an arsenal with them to town halls about HEALTH CARE...
