Ruth Marcus on Shirley Sherrod

Ruth Marcus, Washington Post columnist:

I am being unfair, in part, by singling out the blgosphere. The Sherrod story originated there, but the sins of Andrew Breitbart were aided and abetted by bloggers’ co-conspirators on cable news. And, of course, in the Obama administration.

Aha, the culprits are all found! Bloggers, cable news, and the Obama administration!

It's not like Marcus' own esteemed paper played any role in pushing the story as legitimate. No no.
