.> ^n27 ... WSJ, Jan. 19, 1989; Johnson, Sunday Telegraph, June 1, 1986. Johnson and Podhoretz are exulting over Libya and Grenada, respectively. A notorious apologist for terrorism and atrocities, Johnson also applauded #Israel for "having the moral and physical courage to violate a so-called sovereign frontier" by invading Lebanon in 1982 to excise "the terrorist cancer" -- with an estimated 20,000 or more killed, mostly Lebanese and #PalestinianCivilians (quoted by #WolfBlitzer, #JerusalemPost, June 29, 1984). In the real world, the invasion had nothing whatsoever to do with "the #TerroristCancer," except insofar as Israel hoped that the attack might return the PLO to the #TerroristPolicies Israel preferred by undermining its self-restraint in the face of repeated and murderous Israeli cross-border attacks, and terminating #PLOEfforts to move towards a peaceful political settlement, intolerable to both major Israeli political coalitions. There was ample evidence on these matters from Israeli sources at the time Johnson produced these typically inane comments. See #FatefulTriangle, Pirates & Emperors, and #NecessaryIllusions.
....> The greatest accomplishment of Reagan is supposed to be that he made us "feel good about ourselves," restoring the faith in authority, which had sadly flagged. As the editors of the Wall Street Journal put it, "he restored the efficiency and morale of the armed services [and] demonstrated the will to use force in Grenada and Libya" -- two military fiascos, but no matter. We were able to kill a sufficient number of people and are once again "standing tall," towering over the upstarts who had sought to overcome us but who succumbed to the cool courage and "the strength of the Cowboy" -- the words of British journalist Paul Johnson, while swooning over the manliness of his idol Ronald Reagan, who had in reality shown the courage of a Mafia don who sends a goon squad to break the bones of children in a Kindergarten. With these achievements, Reagan overcame our "sickly inhibitions against the use of military force," Norman Podhoretz intoned. ^n27

@sam #FoxNews is viewed a bit more favorably AFAIK, despite running a bit of opinion shows at night and letting it bleed into the daytime programming over the past few years, largely because they've done a great job of retaining their news division's talent and spotlight (i.e. utilizing #BrettBaier for straight news, replacing #EdHenry with #PeterDoocy and continuing to utilize him, and replacing #TheKellyFile's timeslots with straight news shows rather than opinion programming). #CNN used to do this years ago with #WolfBlitzer and #AndersonCooper pulling combined five hours at least each weekday IIRC, but while they're still around, much of their spotlight has been stolen by inferior talent such as #JimAcosta and #DonLemon. There are folks like #DanaBash are pretty underutilized, even #JakeTapper should have more airtime IMHO.
#MSNBC would be a good model for #CNN to emulate, they have done a great job of giving the actual news people a space to breathe between #MSNBCLive (which unfortunately much of the opinion folks have co-opted/infiltrated but is nonetheless still a good news show AFAIK) and #NBCNewsNow, which is criminally underrated. Unfortunately, #CNN neither has the clear branding separation of its news and opinion folks that #MSNBC has, nor the track record of consistently airing straight news alongside opinion programming like #FoxNews has, so they'd have a hard time convincing viewers that their pivot to hard news is legit even if it happens. -
