Congratulations Bob,

Your work on TNR and Foer should be used in Journalism schools as an example of what can happen to you in this age when you resort to using your paper/blog/show to deceive the public on what is really happening in the world.

As for Foer’s 14 page manifesto, that was nothing but mental masturbation on his part – “I was lied to, and made bad decisions, but I’m speaking TRUTH TO POWER”. If TNR’s parent company has some balls, Foer would be cleaning out his desk today, and they would be closing up shop by the end of the month. Foer and Beauchamp can stand proudly next to Dan Rather, Mary Mapes, Jayson Blair and the other “stalwarts of journalistic integrity” that have been pwned over the last couple of years.

Bob – you need to have some theme music. How about “Another One Bites the Dust” by Queen?
