NP dishonest journalism

[calbert at tiac.net]

Thanks. For hard copy, try the AMERICAN PROSPECT. Its a 
project seemingly run by "establishment liberals", fans of Bob 
Kuttner and Bob Reich should get right on it. Kuttner has the good 
sense to eschew emotional fervor in favor of fact laden analysis. The 
guy who call himself the Taxonomist, Robert (sure are chock full o' 
Bobs) McIntyre is indispensable.

Sadly, it is not quite as much fun to read as the American Spectator.
