What you're leaving out next is that MM's response to support for Coulter is exactly what you've called "not very likely"--that is, support for the media source's right to publish what it chooses--just as MM has the right to criticize it for doing so--and just as STACLU has the right to criticize MM. So, if there's any hypocrisy being practiced, it's being practiced on both sides. What you’re conveniently (and dishonestly) leaving out is that
