Putz Thinks You're Stupid.

Putz:

NEWSPAPERS PUBLISHING “INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM” spoon-fed from a leftist advocacy group. Hey, times are tough and they get it for free!

The "leftist advocacy group" in question? ProPublica. What Putz does not say -- but a quick scan of ProPublica's officers and staff reveals -- is this:

• The EIC is Paul Steiger, former managing ed. of The Wall Street Journal
• Among the reporters is Jeff Gerth, best known for pimping Whitewater stories for The New York Times and sliming Wen Ho Lee
• The senior web ed. is Eric Umansky, who, though an excellent reporter, had the misfortune to be one of Pajamas Media's charter bloggers

Not exactly The Nation.

Another thing Putz omits? A scant two months ago, back when he was slobbering over Sarah Palin, Putz had no problem linking to ProPublica's stories.
