John Merrow has done a mea culpa on Michelle Rhee and took particular aim at the Washington Post's coddling of that Cheatn' Rhee.

There’s one key difference between Atlanta and Washington: the role played by the local newspapers.

Merrow was/has been a fan of the phony Paul Vallas post-Catrina destruction and de-unionization of the New Orleans school system. (Arne Duncan: the best thing to happen to New Orleans was Catrina). Deutsch29 left this comment on our post John Merrow's Growing Relentlessness on Rhee Cheat...":

Merrow and other media cannot just take a look at isolated instances of ed deform run amuck but the entire package -- including the charter scams from open stealing to the pre-k games we have reported on.
