The Minnesota Monitor further reinforces its transition from “an attempt at a left-leaning news rag” to “full-blown Soros-ass-kissing propaganda mill, albeit with the kind of traffic that Duncan “Atrios” Black picks out of his morning dump”, with the hiring of Molly Priesmeyer.

Who?

Oh, you remember Molly.  She’s the woman Steve “Mr. Furious” Perry stuck on the “Facile Stereotype” beat a few years back, culminating in one of the most preeningly stupid pieces of “reporting” I’ve ever read.  Indeed ,until Matt Snyders joined the City Pages, it could be fairly said Priesmeyer had written the dumbest bit of reporting in the Twin Cities media, since the departure of Margaret Grebe, anyway.  (Although to be fair, a little bird tells us that her once-and-again editor Steve Perry told her to take out all the “fair” and “objective” stuff and slime Republicans more – which is, reportedly, Perry’s style).

Oh, Molly?  Not much has changed in three years.
