For reasons beyond my ken, this Corner post has driven many of my liberal readers to a state of dyspepsia. “You’ve become a hack!” “That’s right, hide behind liberal media bias!” “Waaaah, these Spaghettios are too cold!” (Okay, I made the last one up).

I don’t get it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong or incorrect about the observations I made (that it is easy for partisan/professional liberals to get jobs in the non-partisan media than it is for conservatives). I conceded that there are some Republicans who follow the model (but not nearly as many). Why the passion and hostility?
