In typical “liberal press” style, publications like “Salon” and the “Washington Post” have taken potshots at David Brock’s new book, “Blinded by the Right,” and questioned the motives of the author. It’s all too typical of the flaccid, overwrought efforts of the allegedly “liberal media” to bend over backwards to eat their own.
The right-wing Republican media pundits march in lock step behind books that bolster their political goals. The average so-called “liberal press” book reviewers usually run around trying to eat their own tails in a misguided attempt to prove that they are being “fair.”
What results, of course, is just the opposite. In the case of David Brock’s new book, the criticisms from the so-called “liberal media” (with the exception of a few publications, such as the “New Yorker”) are a grave injustice to the book and to Brock.
“Blinded by the Right” provides an insider’s account into the right-wing conspiracy that attempted to entrap and impeach a democratically elected President of the United States. The seminal book “Hunting of the President,” by Jon Conason and Gene Lyons, provides the definitive account of the strategy that the right-wing used, beginning before Clinton was even elected, to stalk and entrap a President. “Blinded by the Right” fills in and confirms the details, as Brock explains his own personal transformation from eager journalistic “hit man” to repentant confessor. In the process, we learn that even federal judges at the highest level were willing participants in the Clinton character assassination and entrapment strategy.
