he was with ramparts magazine circa 1970.
i laughed at one of david horowitz’ books where he details how sheer advocated translating the no korean kim’s book into english,
but sheer was making $100,000 a year, and later living in a house on the huntington beach harvor with a boat slip.
a leftist true believer questioned his ethics; she thought you had to be poor to be a leftist.
he was with the lost angeles times for decades and nationally syndicated.
whatta phony.
Oh, yes, and did you read the story about how Scheer returned from a visit to North Korea (around 1969) frothing at the mouth with joy about the “people’s paradise” he’d seen on his Potemkin Village tour there. He thought North Korea was the future because they’d told him about “juche” philosophy for morons and he’d swallowed it all, like the leftist douchebag that he is.
The USA was in a bloody shooting war with the communists of North Vietnam/CHina/Russia, and we were still without a stable peace agreement with North Korea, but Robert Scheer was merrily doing propaganda work for our enemies. He is not merely an air-headed doofus like most leftists, he is a TRAITOR.
The idea that anyone should take him seriously on anything to do with US national security would be hilarious if it were not so appalling.
