Getting Started...
Eventually, I plan to use this blog to record and highlight the kinds of Mainstream Media predictions that get things spectacularly wrong, from the 10,000 Katrina victims to the Famine in Afghanistan and Saddam's Last Stand in Baghdad (and, to be bipartisan, the mass stores of WMDs we were supposed to find in Iraq).
But, I don't plan on drawing a strong distinction between newspaper op-ed pundits, television pundits, and prominent blog-pundits. In today's world, those distinctions simply don't exist -- see, for example, Washington Post op-ed columnist Charles Krauthammer on FoxNews commenting on the President's post-Katrina address, or columist Ann Althouse writing her own weblog.
To kick off the site, I'm going to cover concrete predictions of Democratic support for the confirmation of Justice Roberts, starting with the Judiciary Committee vote.
