You'll all be sad to know that the Milbank/Cillizza videos have come to an end. The honchos at the Washington Post have pulled the plug. Milbank and Cillizza were interviewed by their employer for the article about the demise of their videos:
"It's a brutal world out there in the blogosphere," Milbank said. "I'm often surprised by the ferocity out there, but I probably shouldn't be."Okay, the bottom line here: the videos weren't funny. They don't need to overanalyze this. And, don't blame the bloggers. Those guys weren't funny.
Cillizza said that "people have every right to be offended. . . . I am a big believer in experimenting with journalism and finding different ways to convey information. This was a failed experiment in doing that."
Note to the Washington Post: You can't mock "pompous pundits" with pompous pundits.
