Re: moore vs. cockburn -Reply



Didn't Cockburn defend Moore in the pages of The Nation after he was axed
as editor of Mother Jones because Moore refused to publish an
analysis critical of the Sadinistas? What was the spat between Adam
Hochschild and Michael Moore all about? Didn't Cockburn defend Moore?  I
think I remember something like this. At any rate, there was another good
essay by Katha Pollitt in a recent *Nation* about the degeneration of left
journalism--Mother Jones was featured. So while Cockburn now turns on the
editor he once defended, Pollitt goes after the offending journal. Gotta
love those *Nation* regular columnists.
