One of the mundane-but-necessary tasks that occasionally falls to those of us in the reality-based community is debunking the Right's laughable claims of media bias. It typically isn't difficult work, though it is sometimes time-consuming.

Fortunately, conservatives sometimes do the heavy lifting for us by leveling self-debunking attacks on the media, as Bill Kristol did on The Daily Show:

Appearing once again on The Daily Show, Bill Kristol, Jon Stewart's favorite whipping boy (“Bill Kristol, aren't you ever right?”), tonight defended the McCain-Palin ticket, at one point informing the show's host that he was getting his news from suspect sources. “You're reading The New York Times too much,” he declared.

“Bill, you work for The New York Times,” Stewart pointed out.
