Per Greg’s post–and per his story on the profound challenges of correcting misinformation, which you should read right away–here’s one more bit of Betsy McCaughey “naming and shaming” to bring to your attention. This one, from yesterday’s New York Daily News: “Former Lt. Gov. Betsy McCaughey leads ‘death panel’ charge writing up talking points.”
While Greg’s point about today’s namey/shamey Times piece–“I thought it could have been even stronger at points”–applies just as readily (actually, even more readily) to the Daily News‘s take…well, anything tastes better when you’re hungry.
