Nearly every example of Kristol hackery that Chait cites is just a more extreme version of stuff that pundits were saying at the time (Broder’s mythical Bush comeback, Halperin’s insistence Dems would get creamed in the 2006 midterms for example).
Most of the stuff I read on the Corner is not like this; frankly, a lot of it is just too weird to get picked up by mainstream media. The Cornerites write strange things because they believe strange things. Kristol is an unapologetic propagandist.

Delusion & Propaganda
Pretentious jerks (like ourself) who consider themselves connoisseurs/"ironic" consumers of the reactionary opinion media may be as amused as we were by this from Balloon Juice.

From The "Blogger™ Sucks" Editor:
ReplyDeleteIf the fugging thing will advise when one has made an HTML error in the title, why won't it spell-check the title? Someone should start a Bugger™ user association to put the evil-doers of Google™ in their place once & for all.
Technically, that was a typing error, as we did not deliberately spell it out (w/ lip motion).
Also, From The Added Ha-ha Ed.:
ReplyDeleteOriginal title was "Fantasy & Propagnada," yet we didn't even notice when we replaced "fantasy."
