“All Over Washington”
That’s the catch phrase of TBD.com, the new website that was launched last August with much fanfare. The site is an effort by Allbritton Communications, the company that owns Politico and several television stations, including ABC affiliate WJLA. TBD was going to be a new kind of journalism, “hyper local,” covering every inch of Washington, D.C.
Almost five months later, it’s clear that TBD is indeed all over something. But it ain’t Washington.
TBD.com is gay. Very, very gay. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with that — or rather there wouldn’t be, if TBD was simply gay. But TBD is gay and leftist, and that makes it hectoring and didactic, not to mention journalistically compromised.
