Monika Bauerlein of Mother Jones responds.

(updated below)

So Monika Bauerlein has responded to all of the angry comments at MJ's site and says this:
...this is not a "get to know Glen Reynolds" interview; it's one of dozens of interviews that we conducted for a package on politics 2.0, asking various bloggers and netizens for their view on how technology is changing politics. We didn't ask Reynolds OR the other interviewees (including Jerome Armstrong, Esther Dyson, Howard Dean et al.) about general political topics either; that wasn't the point. With Reynolds, we were specifically interested in his views on why the right is so far behind in the blogosphere--interviewing only lefties on that topic would have made a pretty boring conversation. Check out the rest of the package at motherjones.com/fightdifferent.
How nice. Why didn't she just interview Karl Rove?

She just doesn't get it.

I may have missed it, but I don't recall Jerome Armstrong claiming to be "nonpartisan" while breezily linking to fringe loonies viciously attacking Republicans. And I don't remember Esther Dyson calling Republicans traitors or accusing them of being on the side of the terrorists. And when did Howard Dean link to homophobic epithets or suggest that the freedom of the press probably is overrated?

Ms. Bauerlein, all due respect: there are plenty of bloggers on the right who aren't dishonest Bush-following hacks: John Cole, Andrew Sullivan and Greg Djerejian come to mind.

Look 'em up.

UPDATE

Ms. Bauerlein responds again. She still doesn't get it.
Oh, and of course we would interview Karl Rove! I can think of a few choice questions.
But I'm guessing, Ms. Bauerlein, those "choice questions" wouldn't be the kind of softballs you lobbed Putz.

Let's try this another way: do you think the Weekly Standard would interview Atrios and ask a bunch of breezy questions about the Internets? Do you think the National Review would give John Aravosis a tongue bath interview like you gave Putz?

I don't.

Just a suggestion, Blue, but it just might cut down on the spambot posts if an identity other than "Anonymous" was required to comment. True, it's possible that it might reduce the number of legitimate comments, too, but if people really do want to post...
