	Welcome to Michael Kinsley's Dream
		Michael Kinsley, the editor of Slate Magazine, thought it necessary to outline the reasons why we shouldn't be concerned by Microsoft Corp.'s ownership of Slate.
		As Michael Kinsley puts it, the potential conflicts of interest are "far greater for a publication that is part of a traditional media company than for one owned by a software company." Since most of the people at which Mr.
		Kinsley is aiming this argument are much more concerned with the very existence of conflicts of interest than with the actual number of conflicts of interest in these situations, it would appear this part of his argument is a complete waste of Slate's online web space.

		Kinsley said the fact that he has Parkinson's disease was on his mind when he made the decision to leave Slate.
		Kinsley surprised many in journalism circles in December with an announcement that he had been diagnosed eight years ago with Parkinson's, a progressive neurological disorder which causes muscle tremors and affects more than 1 million Americans.
		Kinsley is a former editor of The New Republic, a weekly commentary magazine, and has also been a co-host of Crossfire, a CNN political talk show.

	The Seattle Times: Local News: A new job for Michael Kinsley?
		Michael Kinsley, who left his position with the online magazine Slate and later became editorial and opinion page editor of the Los Angeles Times, is changing jobs again.
		Kinsley said he will be on vacation for most of August, so he'll meet with the Times publisher in September to map out his new role at the paper.
		Kinsley said what he dislikes most about the job is the commute from his home in Seattle, where he lives with wife Patty Stonesifer, who heads the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.

	On the Media
		MICHAEL SKOLER: So that means you shouldn't register as a member of a political party, you shouldn't participate in a Minnesota caucus, you shouldn't attend rallies or show any other public support for a party or a political cause.
		MICHAEL KINSLEY: I think newspapers ought to do it, precisely because it's a fiction to suppose that reporters don't have political views, and it would be healthier and more honest if they simply said what they were.
		MICHAEL KINSLEY: They're overtly opinionated, and you can call it bias if you want, except that they're totally open about it, and, and they are judged by their readers with that in mind.

	Michael Kinsley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Michael Kinsley (born March 9, 1951 in Detroit, Michigan) is an American political journalist, commentator, and television host.
		Michael Kinsley's first exposure to a national television audience was as moderator of William Buckley's Firing Line.
		Kinsley also served as editor at Harper's (for a year and a half in the early 1980s), managing editor of Washington Monthly (in the mid-seventies, while still in school), and American Editor of The Economist (a short-term, honorary position, roughly akin to a sabbatical for an academic).

	Ken Auletta :: Articles - The Re-education of Michael Kinsley (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Kinsley dropped the code name Boot when the natives at Microsoft reported that to Generation X the word meant "barf." When he decided to go with the name Slate, Microsoft's lawyers reported that "www.slate.com" was owned by a man named John Slate, who lived in the South and never used it.
		Kinsley said that he'd like to slim down those numbers, although he realized that there was too little time to do it before their meeting with Siegelman.
		Kinsley remembers that, bothered by the constant back and forth over how to date the cover and how to post new pieces in the middle of the week, he had an epiphany: "This is artificial!" The Education of Michael Kinsley was nearly complete.

	Michael Kinsley's
		Quickly summarized, Kinsley and Reiner are convinced that there is no way that a conservative portfolio of stocks and bonds can grow at an average rate of 4.7 percent annually (after inflation) if the economy grows as slowly as the Social Security actuaries predict.
		Kinsley’s column explicitly mentions estimates by The Heritage Foundation that a PRA would earn an average of 4.7 percent after inflation.
		Although Kinsley does not mention it, the Heritage prediction is based on a portfolio that consists of 50 percent stock index funds and 50 percent government bonds.

	Kinsley leaving Slate for L.A. Times job - Media - MSNBC.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Kinsley, 53, joined Microsoft in 1995 to become founding editor of Slate in a closely watched experiment that turned the software giant into the unlikely publisher of a nationally respected journal of opinion.
		Kinsley stepped down as editor of Slate about two years ago, although he has continued to serve as a contributor.
		Kinsley said he accepted the job on condition that his new employers allow him to split his time between Los Angeles and Seattle, where he has lived since joining Microsoft.

	[No title]
		Kinsley discussed editorial opportunities with Time Warner, Inc. and then, after being told by writer friend Nicholas Lemann that Microsoft Corporation was looking for editors, approached fellow Harvard alum and Microsoft Executive Vice President Steven Ballmer about creating an on-line magazine for the wealthy, diversifying company.
		Kinsley soon found that his magazine was but one of 50 media projects run by a division of Microsoft, and that he was an employee.
		Kinsley ignored the advice of Internet consultant and Harvard classmate Esther Dyson that he and his magazine needed to be more "an intellectual bartender than a chef," to be more interactive and less in control.

	OJR article: Michael Kinsley: The Apologist
		Microsoft, Kinsley emphasized, is a 'saintlike, public-spirited, and compassionate company.' In another column, he explained that Slate 'doesn't want to be dependent on the charity of any rich person, even one as saintly and magnificent as our employer.' And elsewhere: 'Naturally we want our employer to thrive.
		Kinsley's crowning effort to debunk the 'problem' of corporate journalism was a goofy essay for Time magazine itself in the issue after the merger, reducing the concept of disclosure to absurdity.
		Last April 17, Kinsley outdid himself by reacting to a New York Times article on Microsoft hiring lobbyists with a savage deconstruction, starting with author Joel Brinkley's 'clearly tendentious' usage of the phrase 'curry favor' to describe why the political advisers were brought on.

		MICHAEL KINSLEY, Editor, "Slate:" It's our estimation that in order to be self-supporting we have to ask the subscribers, the readers, to pay something.
		Kinsley concedes that figure has dropped by as much as 90 percent since the magazine fee went into effect but insists "Slate" has exceeded early goals for signing up customers.
		MICHAEL KINSLEY: In fact, I've come back to the view that the really coolest thing is the immediacy and the fact that now you can go to the site at any hour and there will be new stuff, and-because it's live.

	Daily Howler: Maybe now you'll believe what we've said about former liberal Michael Kinsley
		As noted, Kinsley discusses the famous Downing Street memo; in it, a top adviser to Tony Blair seems to say that President Bush had decided on war with Iraq as early as July 2002 (and was “fixing” the facts and the intel accordingly).
		KINSLEY (4): [The memo is] a report on a meeting of British Prime Minister Tony Blair and some aides on July 23, 2002.
		KINSLEY (6): Of course, if "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy," rather than vice versa, that is pretty good evidence of Bush's intentions, as well as a scandal in its own right.

	Michael Kinsley, Editorial Page Editor Of The LA Times, Forced Out... \| The Huffington Post (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Michael Kinsley, the high-profile editorial page honcho and columnist at the Los Angeles Times since 2004, has been forced out at the paper, ending on what he called a "bitter note." The Times announced Tuesday that Andres Martinez will take on full responsibility for the editorial and Op-Ed sections at the paper.
		Kinsley, who had lost his main managerial duties several weeks ago, found the latest turn of events unexpected, writing in a memo to colleagues today that publisher Jeff Johnson wanted a "clean break." Johnson used the same phrase himself a little later in announcing the exit.
		Michael Kinsley is responsible for the best editorial page of any major newspaper in America.

	Bill Bennett: The bookmaker of virtues. - By Michael Kinsley - Slate Magazine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		The facile argument made by Kinsley and others on the left is that Bennett criticizes moral failings; Bennett gambles, which is a moral failing; therefore, Bennett is a hypocrite for criticizing the failings of others without criticizing his own.
		There's some truth in that, but their own unwillingness to take a moral stand (beyond "hypocrisy is bad," which is dubious as a moral proposition) tends to reduce the force of their objection to a simple taunt.
		There are those (like Kinsley, I suppose) who believe that gambling and adultery are the same and both ok. But, none of these shrill attacks, including Kinsley's, has made any effort to demonstrate any real equivalence between the two.

	A Response to Michael Kinsley
		It is a response to Michael Kinsley's column, "Editor's Note: Was Slate Had?" It was sent to Slate as a letter to the editor.
		Kinsley's claim, in regard to one of the columns, that "at some point the burden of proof shifts to those making the accusation" of false information, is as wrong as it can be.
		Kinsley also defends another column in which Forman claims he and a friend created an illegal silencer for a rifle while drunk and then tried it out by shooting various objects, including a jar of cocktail onions on the living room mantle.

	TomDispatch - Tomgram: Danner vs. Kinsley on the Memo and the War
		Michael Kinsley, editorial and opinion editor for the Los Angeles Times, then wrote a piece typical of this mainstream moment in the Washington Post, (No Smoking Gun), discounting the importance of the Downing Street Memos as, among other things, no more than "an encouraging sign of the revival of the left.
		Of course, according to the rules under which Kinsley, and much of the rest of the American press, profess to be playing, one cannot say this; after all, this is the case that the Downing Street memo, all by itself, must be shown to prove.
		Kinsley says nothing, either in his original article or in his letter, because he is concerned only with a single question: Does the memo offer "documentary proof that President Bush had firmly decided to go to war against Iraq by July 2002"?

	The Editor's Blog: Michael Kinsley's latest crossfire
		Michael Kinsley is best known as the former co-host of CNN's "Crossfire," where he debated issues from the left opposite Pat Buchanan.
		Times journalists and readers were alternately dazzled and infuriated by the tone Kinsley set.
		But pieces under Kinsley tended to be more sharply opinionated, such as one editorial after last year's first presidential debate.

	The American Spectator
		What inspired Kinsley's most recent column was the news that South Korean scientists had cloned human embryos as spare parts for science.
		He belittles bioethicists for marshalling arguments against therapeutic cloning that "are concerned with the nature of humanity and stuff." It is those arguments that protect the weak and vulnerable from the designs of a dehumanized scientific culture.
		What Kinsley doesn't imagine is the grim irony that for every disease his cloning science tries to cure it will create in the process new diseased and disabled human beings.

	LA Weekly - The Michael Kinsley Experiment Ends
		That Kinsley took the LAT job in the first place was a shock because he’s always been a moth to the flame; yet he may have been the last to discover that, despite the LAT’s reputation, it has no national heat.
		Together, Kinsley and Stein were like the Beavis and Butt-Head of the LAT editorial and opinion pages, a pair of cutups thinking up new ways to annoy so that people would notice them.
		As I wrote last week (“Baquet Begins”), bets were being placed inside and outside the paper on how long Kinsley would last in his gig now that his benefactor, John Carroll, was leaving and the publisher was yanking back oversight of the editorial and opinion sections from the LAT editor.

	The American Spectator
		Because Kinsley wants human embryos treated as casually as one would treat an insect, he has to describe week-old human embryos as no more human than mosquitoes (or perhaps Kinsley means less human than insects, since he says week-old embryos have "fewer physical human qualities than a mosquito.")
		It is the human qualities in the embryo Kinsley compares to a mosquito that liberals need in order to do their research.
		Kinsley tells his readers that "Bush’s alleged moral anguish on this subject is unimpressive" as he parades his own lack of moral anguish about the mistreatment of embryos.
