Let Them Read Fakes
Submitted by K. Lloyd Billingsley on 5.21.2003
The New York Times has been making headlines with the revelation that its star reporter, Jayson Blair, filed stories from places he had not been, freighted with quotes he made up, and filled with information either bogus or stolen from other writers. His work is in the tradition of Janet Cooke of the Washington Post, whose celebrated tale of a youthful junkie proved to be fiction, and fabulist Stephen Glass of The New Republic, now attempting to cash in on his fraud in a new book.
Kerry On
Submitted by Steven F. Hayward, Ph.D on 5.8.2003
Massachusetts Senator and presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry attracted a lot of heat a few weeks ago for saying that the United States needed "regime change" as much as Iraq. Did Kerry really mean that the U.S. Constitution and way of life were defective and required wholesale change, as the term "regime change" is meant when used properly by political scientists? Of course not; he was only trying to be humorous, as he explained later to knee-slapping reporters.
