In other news about corrections, Foundation for the Defense of Democracies founder Cliff May deserves one. He was said by the Washington Post to have been “won over” by the Iraq Survey Group. May was consulted by the ISG, but in fact he was decidedly not won over, and told the WaPo as much in a letter to the editor.
The letter wasn’t published, May was told, because the author of the WaPo article “disagrees with your letter”. Apparently the WaPo scribe decided May was just wrong twice–in the original interview and then in the follow-up letter–about how he actually felt. (Perhaps May was a victim of what the old Marxists called “false consciousness”?) Yet again, everyone thinks they know how the Right thinks better than we do ourselves.
I can’t imagine why thinking consumers of news distruct the oldline mainstream media and its publication “policies.” (Hat tip: Glenn Reynolds).
