RFK, Jr. and Brendan Demelle have a piece up on HuffPo called "Unearthed: News of the Week the Mainstream Media Forgot to Report."

Hilariously, as Dan Mitchell points out in a letter to media blogger Jim Romenesko, referencing "the most idiotic of recent idiocies":

This could be a great service if the column actually "unearthed" anything - which would take some work and perhaps even actual reporting. But, incredibly, nearly every single item they post is based on, and actually links to, a mainstream media story. They cite stories by The New York Times, the Associated Press, CNN, and many other mainstream media outlets as proof that the mainstream media isn't covering those stories.

It's beyond bizarre. These men are not merely doubting reality -- they are using reality itself to cast doubt on reality. Even more disturbing, their audience doesn't even seem to notice. The comments section is full of people lauding the writers' efforts to "unearth" these stories, with many of them decrying the "MSM's" ignoring them.

Or maybe it's not the whole audience doing this, but only the commenters whom the Huffington Post has decided are fit to comment. I wrote a short note in the comments section of the latest "Unearthed" column, pointing out that nearly every item in it relied on and linked to a mainstream media story. This comment - which contained no offensive or insulting language (I did say the column was "silly") - was apparently rejected by the Huffington Post's moderators.

Whoopsy! Deleted a guy with media mojo! Suggestion: Next time, have one of your Soviet-style moderators Google the guy before you try to have him erased.
