from today's Sunday Boston Globe editorials:

Propaganda: Scholarship it isn't

Jerome Corsi, author of "The Obama Nation," is a slippery propagandist who pollutes the public dialogue with insinuation thinly disguised as research. Still, Republican politico-cum-publisher Mary Matalin has hilariously called Corsi's attack book "a piece of scholarship"; Rush Limbaugh has pronounced it "pretty damn good"; and Sean Hannity has been happy to lend air-time to Corsi's claims. So it's instructive that FactCheck.org, the widely respected truth squad, put Corsi's book under its nonpartisan microscope. FactCheck's analysis is worth reading in its entirety, but here's a summary: "Jerome Corsi's 'The Obama Nation' is a mishmash of unsupported conjecture, half-truths, logical fallacies, and outright falsehoods." Mary? Sean? Rush?
