Greenwald comments about ohanlan's comments...
But O'Hanlon proclaimed today that he does not "have high regard for the kind of journalism that Mr. Greenwald has carried out here" without bothering to identify a single factual inaccuracy or misleading claim in anything I wrote (even though he took almost two minutes to answer the caller's question and found the time to hurl much vague invective). And, of course, the full transcript of our interview accompanied my article -- something that I offered, really insisted upon, precisely in order to prevent these sorts of unspecific, petulant claims of unfairness. Everything I wrote was based upon O'Hanlon's own words.
I think it's rather clear what "kind of jouranlism" our Beltway Elite Experts like. It's the "kind" that brought us the Iraq war and six years of Bush radicalism and lawbreaking, the kind that traffics in fawning and vapid coverage of our Beltway stars, and it's exactly the "kind" that any actual journalist works as hard as possible to avoid.>I've read bits and pieces of this affair. The last one I saw was a transcript of o'hanlon's appearance on show show. He refused to "dignify" Greenwald's article with a response.

>>I did see kristol's appearance. Petraus coming back to report that he's voting for Kucinich was pretty good.

>>Read this article. Quite the dismantling of the recent "war critics" trip to Iraq, and an indictment of the "liberal media's" treatment of the authors.

The truth behind the Pollack-O'Hanlon trip to Iraq
>>
>>Last Wednesday, I interviewed Michael O'Hanlon of the Brookings Institution regarding the trip he recently took to Iraq and the highly publicized Op-Ed in the New York Times about his trip, co-written with his Brookings colleague, Ken Pollack. O'Hanlon's answers, along with several other facts now known, demonstrate rather conclusively what a fraud this Op-Ed was, and even more so, the deceitfulness of the intense news coverage it generated. >>

>>>Have you seen the Daily Show clip on C&L about rove's resignation. The part with cheney is hilarious! And there's another clip with kristol on again. He swears everything is going great and everyone will get behind bush's strategy when petraus gives his report of how well things are in Sept.
