<< Abramson, now Washington bureau chief of the New York Times, said that ?the problem with Brock?s credibility? is that ?once you admit you?ve knowingly written false things, how do you know when to believe what he writes? . . . It?d be awfully convenient to now say becausewhat he?s writing is personally pleasing to me that he?s a 100 percent solid reporter. That would be a little disingenuous.? >>
<< In the Talk article, Mr. Brock said the incident involving the intermediary occurred in 1994 as he was preparing a review of a book, "Strange Justice: The Selling of Clarence Thomas," by two Wall Street Journal reporters, Jill Abramson and Jane Mayer, for The American Spectator. Ms. Abramson is now the Washington bureau chief of The New York Times; Ms. Mayer is a Washington correspondent for The New Yorker. >>
Well well well, you people attack Russ, saying he's attempting to defend this guy by saying he's still uncredible and here is one of the people whom Brock attacked saying that she still wouldn't trust him. Read your own sources.
<< In recent years, Brock has made a second career of denouncing his earlier work as a conservative reporter. In 1998, he expressed regrets in an Esquire article for digging into President Clinton?s sex life and said he believed his sources exaggerated the details. >>
He has a history too! Personally, I don't like either side. Who comes out of the blue and confesses for "conscience" sake anymore? Not is this day and age. I also wouldn't be surprised if there were some truth to these "confessions". Politicians would go a long way to keep their credibility, especially in such a high position as a Supreme Justice. I would be surprised if any action is taken though. This'll probably stagnate into another "Conservatives are liars, Liberals are liars" fight on the media and we'll move on to some other scandal in a week.
