Jeff Goldstein:

I’ve noted before that we are now fighting an all out ideological war for the survival of what the democratic republic. In fact, I’ve been making this same argument for years now: when the press, under the cover of “objectivity,” is allowed to function as an advocacy arm for a particular ideology and its titular representatives, what follows is a necessary skewing of facts — and a carefully constructed attempt to frame “stories” with “lessons” that the public will interpret “correctly” (according to those attempting to teach the lessons from the perspective of their own personal advocacy).

I sifted through Mr. Goldstein's archives for a post decrying the crappy reporting during the run-up to the Iraq War -- Jeff Goldberg and Judy Miller's in particular -- and did not find one.¹

Help a brother out?
