More Insipid False Equivalencies

Glenn Greenwald rightly takes down Ross Douthat for claiming that Rachel Maddow only has conservatives on her show who want to bash other conservaties. Maddow always tries to get adversarial conservatives on her show but they hardly ever agree to be on.

As a side note, this shows how appearances can lead to uninformed judgements. I've noticed that most conservatives who don't watch Maddow's show assume she is some sort of militant feminist separatist because she has a butch haircut and wears pants, but that's not how she is at all! She's actually very mild mannered and funny, and her show is one of the most informative news programs on the teevee.
