Buckley Jr. Whenever you read WFB, you're always bound to learn something that few others know. Secondly, here's another terrific column by Thomas Sowell on how the MSM is losing its grip on differentiating between commentary and straight reporting. Thirdly, Austin Bay has an interesting look at Newsweek by noting how the people in the news-room are stuck in the 1970's Vietnam or Get Nixon stage and have forgotten that we are fighting a 21st Century War in a 21st Century atmosphere. With the information highway just a mouse-click away, Newsweek has to be aware that whatever they print for the domestic reader can be seen by people around the World. Finally, check out this piece by William Kristol over at The Weekly Standard.
