Why conservatives are such bad press critics

Aside from the fact they despise the press and wish it would just go away. They're also awful at critiquing the press because they don't even understand how journalism works are what it's supposed to look like. Instead, they just whine.

Take Michelle Malkin's dart at the AP for the report it posted on Bush's farewell address. Malkin's was high dudgeon because the way the Bush-hating AP was so mean and unfair in its report. That the “pure contempt” was dripping from the dispatch.

Malkin hated the headline: “Bush address includes laundry list of back patting”

And she claimed the lead was wildly unfair:

In his farewell address to the nation, President George W. Bush is acknowledging that many of his decisions are unpopular with the American people. But he says there can be no debate about the results. Indeed, a text of the speech comes with a laundry list of what Bush says are successes.

It was telling that Malkin never actually explained what was wrong with the AP's work. Probably because there was nothing wrong with it. Malkin just likes to whine (consider it her calling) and pretend she's being a press critic.
