Daily Kos: Merrow Is a Jolly Fellow (Not)

Daily Kos: Merrow Is a Jolly Fellow (Not):

Merrow Is a Jolly Fellow (Not)

I hate even to acknowledge John Merrow's most recent venture into not having a clue, but his attempt at humor is yet more evidence that the evidence doesn't matter:
The Common Core and the End of the World
In Merrow's evidence-free world, all who question the Mighty Common Core are nothing more than end-of-the-world loonies. To investigative journalist Merrow, Rand Paul, Anthony Cody, and Diane Ravitch are of equal credibility (that is, not credible).
That's pure and utter lunacy.
While it appears that many of today's media voices are unable to consider more than a dualistic view of the universe, the facts remain that some Common Core shouting (the Beck, Maulkin, Tea Party kind) is without evidence, and serves only a predetermined "I hate gov'ment" agenda.
