Slate’s got an REM fan

Yesterday, a summary of all the major newspapers was posted on Slate.com, as they frequently do. Why is that remarkable? The author of the summary managed to reference four REM albums in the title/sub-title:

Murmurs of a Reckoning: Is Petraeus out of time for his fables of the reconstruction?

In the comments for the article, several people have issues with the inclusion of the word “fables” and said it was a sign of the crazy lefties at Slate. They may or may not be lefties, but it was funny to read a big debate about it when it was clearly just a sweet pop music allusion.
