FAIR.org bashes MSM when it fails to back up the "dry meticulous" investigative reporting of Sy Hersh who was attacked in the media by Richard Perle. I guess I will do my part as a blogger to point out that the charges against Perle appear to be good journalism and factual. Why aren't other reporters and news organizations decrying this cynical insider dealing that just costs working stiffs like me more money, either in taxes or in the deficit I will end up paying when interest rates go up and stagflation hits again?

As the chair of the Defense Policy Board Perle was indeed well-placed to broker influence in the military establishment. The board, which consists primarily of well-connected former government officials like Newt Gingrich and Dan Quayle (Perle was himself an assistant secretary of defense in the Reagan administration), exists in that twilight realm that allows ex-bureaucrats to continue to exert influence on their former colleagues. Though not officially part of the civil service, members of the Defense Policy Board are expected to abide by the same code of ethical conduct that governs all federal employees, which prohibits using official positions for personal gain.

seems to think that if he attacks Hersh with enough vehemence, that he can produce "the big lie" and cover up his shenanigans. When Journalism Becomes "Terrorism"
