TNR Still Stonewalling on Beauchamp Fables

• Views: 1,216

Here’s Scott Johnson on The New Republic’s ethics scandal, the scandal that’s being completely ignored by mainstream media as TNR editors hunker down and hope it all goes away: Power Line: It’s the coverup that kills you, part 2.

TNR editor Franklin Foer and executive editor Peter Scoblic seem to think that they can keep up this charade indefinitely, but it is only the indifference of the MSM that has let them get away with it for this long. “The editors” closed their August 10 update by saying that they “refused to rush to judgment on our writer or ourselves” — virtually the only honest statement we’ve ever gotten from TNR on this matter. But it should not be the last. At some point they’ll have to say something on the subject, only then the questions won’t be about Beauchamp. They will be about “the editors.”

Contrast with the MSM frenzy over a distorted quote from Rush Limbaugh; here we have a case where false, disgusting stories about soldiers in Iraq by a proven liar were disseminated by a so-called “reputable” source, and the New York Times, Washington Post, and every other mainstream outlet just blinks and moves on.
