THE TIMES, THEY ARE INVESTIGATIN'
First Jayson Blair. Then Rick Bragg (who's gotten a bit of a bum deal imo, though like many others my sympathies run pretty shallow). Now Maureen Dowd? Apparently her willfull distortion of President Bush's "they're not a problem anymore" quote has caught the eye of Times' fact-combers.Dowd's not alone in this caper: Lots of Dem spinmeisters and apologists used the same trick--Eric Alterman, for one. They all should take a hit in the credibility, and career, for this one.
(thanks to Times Watch, which seems to have beaten everyone to the punch on this story)
