Patterico Responds to the Times' Hiltzik

Los Angeles Times blogger Michael Hiltzik has charged that Patterico's "main purpose is to hunt down deviations from a political orthodoxy" and that he's not "interested in correcting factual errors."

Which leads me to wonder, did Hiltzik even read Patterico's exhaustive year-end post chronicling the Times' errors?

But of course he must have read it. I suspect that Hiltzik, like so many in the mainstream media, is simply making it up as he goes along. Hiltzik goes way off the deep end into "vast rightwing conspiracy" territory by comparing his paper's critics to "Stalinists."
