Tomorrow

Good one this week, as he slices and dices the Reynolds/Goldstein “the media did it” argument.

Which reminds me: Dave recently noted in comments that Reynolds appeared on Hewitt’s radio show and compared media coverage of Iraq to Southern media coverage in the Jim Crow era. Mickey Kaus, of course, thought this was a good point. I’m not sure the phrase “a new low” can usefully be associated with either gentleman, but using the struggle against Jim Crow apartheid as a shield to defend feeble tautologies about how everything would be good well in Iraq if it wasn’t for that pesky Emm Ess Emm tempts me to use it anyway.
