Salon has several good pieces today. Farhad Manjoo covers the flap over the Post ombudsman's gaffe. (Media Matters too, here.) Michael Scherer on Osama bin Laden plugging an obscure book. Walter Shapiro attended Karl Rove's speech to the RNC. Joe Conason wants the White House press corpse to ask Scottie about Abramoff meeting the president. And we always enjoy Ask the pilot.
