Thanks Eva for the link. I think the entire thing should be posted, but where? Here? Others need to be pinged to it!

Also do you recall that AC said the journalist from the NYT assigned to cover McCathy was a "card carrying communist". I've tried to find it in the book and can't. She sure makes the case for SLANDER 50 years ago.

This is interesting. An aunt who worked for the govt in DC during the McCarthy era told me that she watched the hearings on TV every day . The following day the newspapers would have an entirely different version of what she had seen on TV. Said it was her introduction to the slanted press and she believed McCarty was a good American doing a job nobody else wanted to take on.

I think that you are referring to I F Stone. I don't think that he worked for the NYT, though. I think he may have been free lance or syndicated. He was praised and defended by James Reston of the Times, as well as the Wash. Post and the LA Times. The Verona project proved without a doubt that he was a paid Soviet agent.

I wish I could answer the Wall Street Journal on this issue. Rabinowitz needs to be set staight. I don't know what gave people the idea that she is a conservative, she's far from it. Just because she supported Juanita Brodderick doesn't mean she is a Republican or a conservative.
