IRONY ALERT
Irony doesn’t always come across well in print, so perhaps I should make it clear that my post below about Justice Ginsburg and the Los Angeles Times was intended to be ironic. I don’t really think that the L.A. Times cares that Justice Ginsburg may have done the same thing that the Times criticizes Justice Scalia for today. Here’s the phrase that should have tipped you off:
Since the Los Angeles Times doesn’t print stories based on the ideological biases of its editors . . .
If you can read a line like that and take it seriously, you’re probably reading the wrong blog.
Oh, wait. I’m confused. You mean to tell me the Times does print stories that are ideologically biased? I’m shocked, shocked.
