Vanity Fair, can now be added to the list of liars that includes CNN, the New York Times and the L.A. Times.

[Howlin]

FYI.

[FairOpinion]

I am surely glad we have some conservative media which points out the truth and doesn't let the liberals get away with all their lies.

Further evidence that makes a lie of the principle that humanists ("Leftists") can make up their own ethics. They have no need for the Creator God of the universe, and His moral absolutes. The humanists make them up as they go. "Leftism" and "humanism" are close allies, if not one in the same. And their ethic in this case is say or do what ever it takes to advance your agenda...certainly, don't let the facts get in the way of your reporting!

[Tamzee]

Excellent article and I am so glad they caught this... Going to bookmark this one, I just know the twisted statement is going to get thrown at us for the next couple of years :-(

[Mo1]

What gives with this Vanity Fair interview, then?

I think we all could take a guess and probably be right

[Wild Irish Rogue]

This appears to be an attempt by VF to gin up publicity for the issue, by creating controversy and as an added bonus,damaging the Bush Administration in the process. It appears to be more important to attempt to tarnish the war effort,than it is to be honest and forthright in their reporting.No technique is too shabby for contemporary journalists.Any takers on which version Maureen Dowd uses in her next piece?

[Imal]

Great article! Spells it out, no wiggle room provided. Busted!

A fitting epitaph for Vanity Fair.

THe UK Telegraph's little pack o' distortion on the vanity Fair interview misquote:

WMD Just a Convenient Excuse for War, Admits Wolfowitz (In Your Dreams, libs)

[GOPJ]

bump

[Robert DeLong]

Good catch Pokey78.

[Lyford]

I must say that I'm really disappointed in Sam Tanenhaus (I assume it's the same one), who's biography of Whitaker Chambers was excellent...

[DoctorMichael]

I listened to what Wolfowitz said and found it quite honest, truthful and non-controversial. However, the slavering liberals in the media are desperate to gin-up a controversy.

Unfortunately, the rank and file lie-berals will repeat these accusations without reading the article itself or give it much philosophical thought. Does anybody think that the Sunday morning talk shows WON'T be spending their time on this overblown story?

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

Pentagon staffers were wise enough to tape-record the Tanenhaus-Wolfowitz interview.

Guess Vanity Fair didn't realize they were playing with the first team. Egg once again on the faces of the left's media mouthpieces.

[austinite]

Vanity Fair "blaired" what Wolfowitz said.....

[jrlc]

These liberals should keep up their twisted reporting -- Vanity Scare included -- pretty soon the entire American public will discount news reports the way Conservatives do.

[independentmind]

Furthermore, people of good will are entitled to disagree, even in retrospect, about the wisdom and probable effects of Saddam's forcible removal.

Oh, really? Where would that be?

[iconoclast]

Wolfowitz' words, "polished version"

Iraq's supposed cache of WMD had never been the most important casus belli. It was simply one of several reasons: "For bureaucratic reasons we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on.

Wolfowitz' words, "unvarnished version"

Iraq's supposed cache of WMD had never been the real casus belli. It was simply one of several reasons: "For propaganda reasons we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason the sheeple could be roused with.

[Grampa Dave]

They all do it.

What is it?

Lie for the rats to spread BS to damage GW and his administration.

Vanity Fair is no different than the NY Slimes, LA Slimes, Washington Compost, Atlanta Urinal and CNN.

Misquotes like this are as hit pieces.
