Robert Parry said it for me.
The bottom line is this: When the American Right is offended, the “corrections” come fast and are sweeping, even in highly dubious situations. Sometimes heads roll.
But when the American Left feels aggrieved, the “corrections” are slow and grudging, often very narrow in scope and still misleading. Nobody is likely to get punished.
Parry cites egregious examples in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and at CBS.
So depressing and deep-seated. What Susan Sontag wrote about Jews (pre-Israel) is true of liberals in American history. They’re the fat kids with glasses who get pushed into the gutter. Nobody thinks they’ll fight back.
