Nothing New from “The New Republic”
“So, have you heard: Real Journalist Peter Beinart is sneering at conservative talk show hosts headed to Iraq this Friday to report on the war,” writes Michelle Malkin.
“The trip is being organized by my friend, the brilliant and often news-breaking Melanie Morgan of KSFO radio in San Francisco. If Real Journalist Peter Beinart had bothered to do some elementary research before opening his mouth, he would have learned that Melanie was a real journalist while he was still sucking his thumb (not that he hasn’t stopped).”
What’s the beef? On the topic of reporters going to Iraq, Beinart is quoted:
“This is the most pathetic thing I’ve heard in a long time. They should be ashamed of themselves,” Peter Beinart, editor of left-leaning The New Republic magazine, said.“They have no idea what journalism is, and to pretend they are journalists is laughable,” Beinart said. “You do not achieve victory by not facing reality. I think these are the kinds of people that will lead us to lose there.”
Malkin also provides a link to Beinart’s bio. We checked it out. He’s a Rhodes Scholar from Yale, just like Bill Clinton.
Just proves the point: an Ivy League education just ain’t what it used to be. No common sense.

Has Peter Beinart ever visited Iraq? Or served our country with more than lip service and pen?
