From the absolutely valuable MediaMatters.org:
Kristol's first Time column contradicted by Time's own reporting
first paragraph:
Several points in Weekly Standard editor Bill Kristol's column for the January 15 edition of Time, his first since being hired by the magazine as a "part-time columnist," were contradicted by Time's cover story in the same issue on President Bush's reported plans to send 20,000 additional U.S. troops to Iraq.
The MediaMatters article goes through the contraditions, and in conclusion notes Kristol's use of demagogues' favorite technique:
As Media Matters for America noted , Kristol also attacked several Bush administration "critics" in his Time column without naming, quoting, or in any way identifying a single one.
Again: this is in the vey SAME ISSUE of the magazine. Sheesh.
.
How do conservative commentatories like him, David Brooks, O'Liey, etc. etc. manage to get by for so long with their complete disregard for accuracy?
And how do they keep getting these high profile, high paying gigs?
It's just one of life's mysteries
There Is a Way Forward in Iraq is the link to Kristol's Time article.
He finishes with:
Why, the Bush presidency might even turn out to be a success! What a thought! Better to give up on Iraq, say the critics, and damn the consequences.
All you people-who-hate-America: take that!
