Ironic Editorial

Apparently, irony is alive and well at the NYT. Frank Rick writes about the Obama campaign and convention:

Indeed, the disconnect between the reality of this campaign and how it is
perceived and presented by the mainstream media is now a major part of the
year's story.

I think inadvertently correct still counts. The MSM appears to be missing the point on some really good stories about the reality of Sen. Obama's campaign, i.e., Sen. Obama's attempts to chill free speech. Mr. Rich gets one more thing correct at the end of his column.

We will only begin to confront the magnitude of our choice when and if we
stop being distracted by small, let alone utterly fictitious, things.
