— PatrickRuffini wrote a nice letter to NBC News’ Brian Williams about their biased coverage of Fortuyn, to whit:
Once again, webloggers like Andrew Sullivan and Rod Dreher of National Review Online savored the hard political “facts of the case” … within an hour of hearing of Fortuyn’s murder, and hours before NBC News reported otherwise. And those facts all indicated that Fortuyn was no Le Pen. Whereas Le Pen had spent years directing his anger to all manner of social and political groupings — immigrants, Jews, the political class, the European Union, and the United States — Fortuyn’s only real “right-wing” plank was to cut foreign immigration by 75%.
By the NBC standard, the Sierra Club is a right-wing extremist organization, because they too are opposed to immigration.
