Dear Forbes, re: your 25 most influential liberals in the US media January 23, 2009

Go fuck yourselves. Not only are many of those you’ve included not really liberal at all, but you couldn’t let the opportunity go by without engaging in some bullshit heterosexualist shots at Andrew Sullivan (who will be surprised to find out that his support for equality and contempt for Bush’s many disasters make him a liberal, and not a conservative who is deeply embarrassed by the religious right and neocon-conglomerate that call themselves the conservative these days). Seriously, WTF?
19. Andrew Sullivan
Blogger, The Daily Dish
A granddaddy of Washington blogging and a former editor of The New Republic, he clings unconvincingly to the “conservative” label even after his fervent endorsement of Obama. His advocacy for gay marriage rights and his tendency to view virtually everything through a “gay” prism puts him at odds with many on the right.
No word as to why Forbes insists on viewing everything through a “staight” prism. Possibly because they’re part of The Agenda.
I could not agree more with you… They make no distinction between social and economic liberalism. And they take some Bush critics, who just so happen to actually be conservative, and somehow classify them as liberal. Sullivan is the epitome of how this list is deeply misleading. Christopher Hitchens is debatable and so are Friedman and Zakaria. The last two being more centrists or center-leftists, if anything.
BTW, where’s Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, Keith Olberman, Al Gore, and many more transparently influential liberals?
Hey EB, I just read on wordpress.com that you are among the fastest growing wordpress blogs! Big congrats! When you come back to NM, we’ll celebrate with a bottle of Jack!
