Perhaps its time for the New Republic to close its doors

Link

First Steven Glass creates fictional stories for the magazine over the course of three years. And now they just print the ramblings of a wannabee fictional writer as true events in Iraq. When I originally read about this soldier, I failed to recognize this magazine as the one that allowed the Glass fiasco.

Why would anyone bother with this magazine after not once but twice they've printed fiction as fact?

It's a pity. I had a subscription to TNR in the 80s, when its political analysis was among the sharpest around. Of course, it had guys like Fred Barnes and Charles Krauthammer writing for it back then.

Fred Barnes spoke at my graduation at Geneva in 99! I like him. I haven't seen him in a while.
