Fraud Writ Large

I did not comment on this when it came out, but it needs to be spread far and wide. Vanity Fair issued a press release saying that a lot of "Neocon" Iraq war supporters now were against the war. The left blogosphere went totally off the wall on that. There was much celebrating and virtual high-fives all around about that press release.

AND THE PRESS RELEASE IS A COMPLETE LIE.

Ed Morrisey is the one who linked this, so here's part of his take on it:

The article has much more, especially in conveying a sense of betrayal and abandonment of ethics at Vanity Fair. All of them had been told that their interviews would not be published until January, and more than one of them said they raised their concerns about their words being taken out of context before agreeing to the interview. Vanity Fair, it seems, has much more interest in partisan politics than in honest analysis and journalism — which is hardly surprising, given the track record to which Michael Ledeen alludes.

The attempts to skew the election will come back to haunt the media.
