"This is Mathew Brady, reporting live from Atlanta..."
Continuing our tertiary mission to catalogue interesting references to the Civil War, I found this from Cliff May at NRO:
If there had been an MSM like today's after the U.S. Civil War, imagine how they'd have covered the "insurrection" of the Ku Klux Klan. "Wolf, there's been another lynching down here but when you consider the services that got knocked out in Atlanta after Gen. Sherman came through... well, people are obviously disappointed and angry and I think this puts the Union's credibility on the line again."Interestingly, the very next post at The Corner is a wonderful tale of anti-Semitic "evangelical" hypocrisy, courtesy of John Podhoretz. They seem to be hitting all the right buttons over there today.
