That's Good Editing
In light of the rising tide of military hatred becoming apparent in the media Austin Bay suggested last week that the MSM ought to give up it's traditional "thinking."
It was classic "media gotcha," using the "Vietnam and Watergate" storyline of "United States bad, Third World good" -- but the phony story led to riots, deaths and an embarrassing retraction.Powerline then suggested that the only response Newsweek would have would be
"who appointed Austin Bay its editor"So, Austin Bay decided to audition for the job. I like what he has in mind. Maybe he should start his own news weekly.
