Jerry ran across this piece of garbage by Ann Coulter. I'm not even going to link to it, but I'll throw out an excerpt. You can google it if you want to read the whole thing.

The ethic of conservation is the explicit abnegation of man's dominion over the Earth. The lower species are here for our use. God said so: Go forth, be fruitful, multiply, and rape the planet -- it's yours. That's our job: drilling, mining and stripping. Sweaters are the anti-Biblical view. Big gas-guzzling cars with phones and CD players and wet bars -- that's the Biblical view.

This kind of blather is so easy to take down that it's not even worth the effort--Coulter and her ilk (Malkin, Limbaugh, The Washington Post Editorial Page) have ceased to make any sense except to those predisposed to believe them. The national conversation has become so infiltrated by right wing talking points that we can get up in a huff when a sometime Bush critic (Don Imus) makes a racist remark, but the Coulters of the world can spout much more inflammatory nonsense on a daily basis and still have nationally syndicated audiences and $20,000 speaking fees.

The only reason that I post this at OTB (other than to liven things up a bit) is that it's an excuse to link to some of my favorite media critic sites. Probably the best one out there, with a "just the facts" approach, is Media Matters for America. I also read Glen Greenwald frequently. Both of these sites also have many good links. If you want to see just how broken the media has become in the last 20 years, take a look.
