Honestly, this makes no sense to me. Weigel is no good for the suits at the Washington Post but he’s fine for the Washington Post–owned Slate?
The Washington Post should have manned up and just kept Weigel at the Post. The problem wasn’t his reporting on the Right, it’s that the Post didn’t have a blogger covering the Left in like manner.
Its off topic, but since nobody is posting anyway, you may want to check out Jason Whitlock's piece at The Big Lead regarding why newspapers today are failing. I don't often agree with him (I think the last time was around 2001), but I think he's got a point here.
As for Weigel - does he get to say his job was saved or created by the stimulus now?
