Patterico, Stalinist

Although I frequently criticize the Minneapolis Star Tribune for the sloppiness, vitriol, and general unfairness on their opinion pages, at least I don't have to put up with the Los Angeles Times. Unlike the LA Times, no one actually pays attention to what the Strib's editors think. Patterico, however, takes up the burden of fact-checking the LAT and gets this reaction for his pains. Apparently it's rather easy to be a Stalinist these days - just correct the LA Times! Not one to take it lying down, his response is here.
