Remember what Bill Maher said about the political intent of manufactured outrage?
Wolfson wants all supporters to focus on Shuster's rare mistake, while ignoring a decade of worse from other outlets like FOX.

So - as Bill Maher noticed about the cheap political theater - DON'T FORGET YOUR BOTTLE OF FEIGN-FEIGN.

We've seen the disproportionate outrage act quite a few times over the years. Usually pops up in election years.

1. Sadly, all too often it works with apparatchiks like Wolfson running campaigns.
Wolfson, has the fundraising email gone out yet or are you farming it out to Emily's List again?

3. He mocked it and said " Don't forget your bottle of Feign-Feign"
he said Republicans take it by the gulps whenever they are instructed to display heightened outrage.

6. Don't blame Yale. Just the deceit of the closed government privileged elite.
There happen to be some Yalies who have been this country's greatest advocates for open government over the last few decades.
