Political scientist Jonathan Bernstein on vp candidate Paul Ryan's acceptance speech to the GOP convention:

 But really, the proper response to a speech like this isn’t to carefully analyze the logic, or to find instances of hypocracy; it’s to call the speaker out for telling flat-out lies to the American people. Paul Ryan has had what I’ve long thought was an undeserved good reputation among many in the press and in Washington. It shouldn’t survive tonight’s speech.


The media response Josh Marshall alluded to may be something like this: Call out the lies right in your headlines.
