Congratulations to David Weigel whose blog at the Washington Post kicks off today. From the release:
Weigel will focus on the GOP, the Tea Party movement, conservative candidates, personalities and ideas, as well as libertarian think tanks and the fringe elements that are looking to get footholds in mainstream media and politics.
“David’s work has taken him inside the world of Obama detractors and given him a front-row seat watching the remaking of the Republican Party,” said National Editor Kevin Merida. “He has developed quite a following and reputation chronicling the conservative movement and the rise of the tea parties. We look forward to adding his strong reportorial voice and insights into the right to our political coverage as we ramp up for the 2010 midterms.”
Putting aside for a moment the lumping together of “libertarian think tanks and fringe elements,” now that they have someone providing critical coverage of the Right, how about hiring someone to provide critical coverage of the White House?
