THE NEWSPAPER GUILD SNEERS
Remember Foleygate? Boston journalist Hiawatha Bray, who launched a write-in campaign to unseat Newspaper Guild president Linda Foley over her reckless smears against the U.S. military, sends along this propaganda piece from the Guild attacking Foley’s critics.
It’s titled “Right-wing attack-dogs savage TNG president for comments on Iraq deaths” and sneers at Fox News, Sinclair Broadcasting, and “[r]ight-wing bloggers with quaint populist names (“Ankle Biting Pundits,” “Tennessee Rant,” “My Vast Right Wing Conspiracy”).
Foley’s defenders liken her to the beleaguered Ward Churchill. Yes, just another martyr for the America-bashing cause.
Hiawatha Bray promises more on his blog. Stay tuned.

Update: Read Bray’s response. An excerpt:
For me, the most worrisome aspect of this entire affair is the realization that few of my colleagues are troubled by this in the least. They seem to believe there’s nothing at all to fret about when a prominent voice in American journalism feels free to slander American soldiers. Of course, there’s a great deal to fret over, if you care about the state of our profession and the good name of our fellow citizens. Or, for that matter, if you care about how journalists will be treated by soldiers in future conflicts. Will these guys ever trust us again? Why in heaven’s name should they, when we lie about them, without shame?
Update II: The “quaintly named” Ankle Biting Pundits bite back: “The fact that the Newspaper Guild would favorably compare Linda Foley to Ward Churchill and label them “victims” tells you about all you need to know about the ideology of this group.”
