NewsBusters is whining because media commentators praised Obama's decision to fire General Stanley McChrystal after he and his aides made inappropriate and unprofessional comments to a Rolling Stone writer. NBC's Chuck Todd even called the White House move “a brilliant choice.” (Actually he reported that D.C. insiders would call it that.)

The decision “was met with a chorus of praise in the media,” complained Kyle Drennen.

But oops, and this is where it gets awkward for NewsBusters and its peculiar brand of media 'criticism,' which consists entirely of ticketing anyone who says or writes something positive about Obama as being a liberal media stooge, Stephen Hayes on Fox News last night was just one of several conservative commentators who, sort of like Chuck Todd, praised Obama's actions in letting McChrystal go. Hayes called Obama's Wednesday address about McChrystal the best speech of his presidency.

Biased!

And OMG, Hayes wasn't the only one NewsBusters has to call out in the wake of the president's speech. There was conservative blogger Ed Morrissey ("politically adept"), and the NRO crew of Rich Lowry ("home run"), and Jim Geraghty ("pretty pleased"). And on The O'Reilly Factor, Bernie Goldberg said he was “depressed” by how some fellow conservatives had criticized Obama for firing the General.*

But thank goodness NewsBusters is on the case, working diligently to weed out the biased liberal, pro-Obama pundits on Fox News and at NRO.

*I originally wrote that it was NRO's Jonah Goldberg who appeared on Fox News and said he was “depressed” by the conservative reaction. I regret the error.
