From Thinkprogress:
Last night on PBS’ The NewsHour, New York Times columnist David Brooks compared 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden’s latest video message to “lefty blogs,” saying the al Qaeda head is like “one of these childish people posting rants at the bottom of the page.” He then went to describe why he drew such a comparison:
You read this thing, and it’s like he’s been sitting around reading lefty blogs, and he’s one of these childish people posting rants at the bottom the page, you know, Noam Chomsky and all this stuff.
You can’t help read it and not laugh at it, occasionally, because it is just absurd. It’s flying this way, and that way, weird conspiracy theories, and mortgages, global warming. He throws it all in there.
Memo to Brooks: Bin Laden is surely laughing his ass off on your comments since that new OBL video of his warnings on the video and new look is a sham. Another nimrod journalist who ran with the rest of the gerbil reporters to feed the public with this new farce video of Bin Laden.

Brooks will be looking for a job soon as he his become a laugh himself. Each week Shields puts him in his place and makes a fool of him.
Mark Shields is so much more intelligent and in touch with things than Brooks, but Jim Lehrer needs to have both sides and having a Hannity/Falafel guy on is too way out there to make it a credible news source, at least Brooks can be put in his place by Lehrer/Sheilds.
