Did Krugman see my last post?

Here is Paul Krugman's latest article from New York Times on Friday. He makes the case that great damage is done by the media for always airing both sides of an argument but never making it clear when one side bears more culpability for the chaos in Washington.

I made much the same point last week, calling this media habit a practice of "moral relativism".  See the details in my prior post.
