A RESPONSE TO CRITICS OF MY LAST POST
I'm not positive, but I suspect that many took exception to your original post because a certain key quality isn't being acknowledged and that is the conduct of TNR's post Beauchamp conduct.
I think it's pretty obvious the consensus, that while righty bloggers weren't enchanted with TNR's non-existent fact checking, the central belief was Beauchamp lied to them as well.
And so I think many would agree, if Foer didn't default into smear the accuser, become defensive laced it with juvenile sarcasm but acted as a diligent, transparent and mature professional the sequence of events would most likely played out differently.
Besides the shoddy catty non-professionalism, TNR chose the anti-transparency method of response and is issuing crafty, slight of hand response that I'm sure confuse even lawyers - in essence the corners politician TNR usually loves to report on. - and that's just offensive.
In light of TNR's behavior, I do think righty bloggers just aren't rolling over on TNR and it's an important aspect to consider.
Also, I do think it appalling how they treated the "whistle-blower" in light of the fact TNR used a Kos Townhouse email group snitch and published a fake email supposedly from that group.
TNR has some major problems - they had them and still do. Undeniable.
