Back when NewsBusters first started up in 2005, we noticed the MRC's antipathy for deceased journalists who didn't toe the conservative line, refusing to give them an "RIP" designation, while conservative-friendly writers received such consideration.
The practice continues. An Oct. 4 NewsBusters post by Brent Baker on the recently deceased Osborn Elliott, former editor of Newsweek, bashes Elliott as "a reminder that the Angry Left populated the highest levels of the mainstream news media long before the blogosphere gave them new venues."
As Eric Boehlert at County Fair put it: stay classy, NewsBusters.
