For his part, Domenech is off to an auspicious start, fudging the facts and generally just making things up. “Red America’s citizens are the political majority,” he wrote yesterday. “They’re here to stay.” We know that being a blogger gives license to make all sorts of claims, but Domenech seems stuck back in November 2004 — in particular, on that election day that saw George Bush swept back into office by a clear, if narrow, margin. We don’t know where Domenech has been for the past 16 months, but a few things have happened since then, and a Pew poll taken in February shows that “[t]he public believes the Democratic Party could do a better job than the GOP on a host of policy issues. The Democrats hold a huge advantage on the environment and health care, and smaller but still significant leads on several other issues, including deficit reduction (12 points), taxes (11 points) and education (11 points).” And let’s not even dwell on the president’s recent approval ratings, which seem wedged somewhere between 34 percent and 39 percent.


But for now, we’ll keep checking in on Domenech, in hopes that he’s able to sing in more than one octave:


“MSM bad. MSM biased..”


In fact, we’re going to give him the benefit of the doubt.


So, welcome to the MSM, kid. Where the linemen are bigger, the running backs faster, the quarterbacks throw bullets and your own tactics can — and will — be used against you.
