"But the most idiotic of recent idiocies is the Huffington Posts's column "Unearthed: News of the Week the Mainstream Media Forgot to Report," by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Brendan DeMelle. This could be a great service if the column actually "unearthed" anything – which would take some work and perhaps even actual reporting. But, incredibly, nearly every single item they post is based on, and actually links to, a mainstream media story. They cite stories by The New York Times, the Associated Press, CNN, and many other mainstream media outlets as proof that the mainstream media isn't covering those stories.

"It's beyond bizarre. These men are not merely doubting reality — they are using reality itself to cast doubt on reality. Even more disturbing, their audience doesn't even seem to notice. The comments section is full of people lauding the writers' efforts to "unearth" these stories, with many of them decrying the "MSM's" ignoring them." [Romenesko]
