Media Bias allows time travel |
This is so funny. Lewis Lapham of Harper's covered the Republican
Convention and his article was accidentally published before the
convention occured.
This from his article in the issue dated September:
"The speeches in Madison Square Garden affirmed the great truths now
routinely preached from the pulpits of Fox News and the Wall Street
Journal--government the problem, not the solution; the social contract
a dead letter; the free market the answer to every maiden's
prayer--and while listening to the hollow rattle of the rhetorical
brass and tin, I remembered the question that [Richard] Hofstadter
didn't stay to answer. How did a set of ideas both archaic and bizarre
make its way into the center ring of the American political circus?"

Here's a followup on his "apology".

I did a search on Lapham and Time Machine and found out that
apparently Reuters has a time machine also:

Now if only the liberal press would use this for good instead of
pursuit of sleezy profits for their newspapers.
