    The New Republic Issues Retraction

    By Kyle | December 1, 2007

    At the end of a mammoth 14-page statement released on its Website, The New Republic finally “cannot stand by,” i.e., retracts, the stories (I use the term advisedly) filed by its war correspondent Scott Thomas Beauchamp, pictured above. (More context here). TNR acknowledges that assigning Beauchamp’s wife the fact-checking honors wasn’t the smartest move. Whooops! Then again, who could ever possibly have expected TNR to be on the lookout for manufacturers of tall tales?

    Michael Goldfarb of The Weekly Standard, take a bow for unmasking this fraud.

      Reading The New Republic is like taking a pair of #2 pencils (sharpened or unsharpened, it doesn’t matter) and sticking them in your eyes - it hurts, plus it’s not good for you.

      In short, it’s something that only a liberal would do repeatedly.
