Is men's news daily written by BEN STEIN??

Just wondering, because:<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.spectator.org/util/print.asp?art_id=8242">www.spectator.org/util/pr...rt_id=8242</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--><br><br>"When his enemies brought him down, and they had been laying for him since he proved that Alger Hiss was a traitor, since Alger Hiss was their fair-haired boy, this is what they bought for themselves in the Kharma Supermarket that is life:"<br><br>and this from the MND blogger:<br><br>"Forty five years ago, Nixon was the target of hatred by the Left for many reasons, even though he was, by most standards, a fairly liberal Republican. The Left’s hatred for Nixon began in the fifties due to his successful pursuit of one of the Left’s sacred cows, Alger Hiss (a confirmed Soviet agent who worked against the interests of America throughout his entire career)."<br><br><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK START--><a href="http://www.mensnewsdaily.com/blog/malven/">www.mensnewsdaily.com/blog/malven/</a><!--EZCODE AUTOLINK END--> <br><br>Why suddenly Ben Stein makes the same points (read the articles, the syntax is close.) as MND?<br><br><br>Does anyone know whon the MND blogger is? <br> <p></p><i></i>

good find, actually

Either rehabbing Nixon's image -- so as to make his appear resignation unnecessary and by extension make any impeachment against bush appear appear similarly unnecessary -- is one of the right wing media's new memos that's going around, the MND guy reads and paraphrases Ben Stien (b/c whatever MND guy is, he's not a scintillating intellect), or both. <p></p><i></i>

The Trite Wing

Postby robertdreed » Wed Jun 22, 2005 11:41 am

..that's my phrase for commentators who adhere to formulaic right-wing cliches, allergic to any factual detail and reportage that doesn't support their prejudices, adding little or no thought or observations of their own to the parroting of their "opinion leaders." Malven at the MND blog is a textbook case. <br><br>I don't have much use for Left Political Correctness, either, but in my experience, that problem is less acute. Even the Leftists I find most offensive, annoying, or outright wrong in their interpretations simply tend to be better journalists. At least they're capable of constructing an argument comprised of more than table-pounding, well-poisoning, and ad hominem attacks. <p></p><i>Edited by: <A HREF=http://p097.ezboard.com/brigorousintuition.showUserPublicProfile?gid=robertdreed>robertdreed</A> at: 6/22/05 10:00 am<br></i>
