C-3 P.O.'d

Matt Welch | January 21, 2005

Supporting my pet theory that political media criticism often begins as insight but ends as farce, Tim Graham is arguing that the Armstrong Williams debacle is a "C-3 story" that "ended up on A-1."

I can just picture a new cable teevee show, called The Terrifying Tims, where Graham and Karr face off on either side of Russert, and argue passionately about article placement, while a nation of hundreds watches. "That was totally an A-13 story!!" "You can't see the forest for the D-3s!!", etc.
