Oops, says Andrew Sullivan, as he feels the cold touch of Charles Krauthammer’s exquisitely sarcastic stiletto as it begins to eviscerate him. Moral of the story: do not take on Krauthammer unless you’ve checked your facts. I doubt that Andrew will be coming back for another go-round at this particular target. Krauthammer’s entire takedown [...]

Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it and polarize it: In today’s Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer takes great pains to paint a bleak picture of health care reform as “monstrous,” “overregulated,” and rife with “arbitrary bureaucratic inventions.” The columnist’s argument may be cogent and well-written, but it is wholly inaccurate....

And in the recent past, Krauthammer has advocated something the Dish strongly supports: a clear and simple gas tax offset by a payroll tax cut for economic, climate and national...

The White House says Krauthammer's column is inaccurate. The White House is tackling bad journalism in general, not just Fox. Krauthammer, an opinion columnist, is so biased that I never read what he writes. I don't have to. Just take an issue and oppose it. Voila! Krauthammer has a world view that's not remotely close to mine. In today's Washington Post, Charles Krauthammer...
