GLASS HOUSES, CONT’D. Garance‘s disputes notwithstanding, I’d certainly recommend reading Perlstein‘s piece. I don’t think the important concern vis a vis the Jay Carney example is the technical factuality of various claims so much as the regurgitation of rote and inaccurate political narratives, against which the blogosphere has finally — and helpfully — facilitated some serious and sustained pushback in the last few years.
