Washington Post's Fred Hiatt and George Will: Stupid, Lying, or Craven? « The Way Things Break

By illconsidered on April 8, 2009.

So, George Will and the Washington Post are at it again, head over to Things Break for the details.

These institutions are oblivious to their own impending demise, a demise that articles like George Will's show they fully deserve.

[Update: Grist notes that Will is called out by name by his own paper for making claims contradicted by the facts...and let's call a spade a spade, given that he has been loudly and repeatedly informed of his factually incorrect claims and yet repeats them, he must be stupid or a liar.]

Daggle has a good article pointing our the flawed thinking of print publishers in the internet age.
