Imagine this: Another unbalanced Post LGBT piece
Oh well, here we go again.

A reader suggested this Huffington Post article be highlighted, commenting:

Oh, for a follow-up question to Justice Thomas
Anyone who has ever tried to do media criticism knows that it is so, so easy to complain about the work of others, especially when you do not know all of the factors that led to a particular story being reported, written and edited in a particular way.
