The Zerbisias Factor

Writes Azerb on her blog:

Somebody ought to tell Fox News' Bill O'Reilly that he is the mainstream media!

That he can't have it both ways: both boasting about his ratings and pretending to be an alternative to the big guys.

Agreed. Now, as a corollary:

Somebody ought to tell [the Toronto Star's] [Antonia Zerbisias] that [s]he is the mainstream media!

That [s]he can't have it both ways: both boasting about [being part of the "most successful newspaper, circulation-wise, in the land"] and pretending to be an alternative to the big guys.
