What is Michael Kinsley talking about? (Newspaper editorials edition)

Eric Alterman is dead-on about this:

Michael Kinsley begins his column, here, "In this great country, there are newspaper editorial pages of every political stripe, from nearly insane far-left rantings to the Wall Street Journal." Hey Michael, name one "nearly insane far-left" newspaper editorial page in the United States or has it escaped your notice that you are just about the most liberal editorial page editor in the United States?

He's liberal, but he denounces "nearly insane far-left" newspaper editorials even if they don't exist! How counter-intuitive is that!

(Past entries in the Kinsley files are here and here.)

I see it more as a backhanded way of calling the Wall Street Journal a nearly insane far-right editorial page... which isn't necessarily an improvement. If he was going to do that, he should be picking on the Moonie Times.
