Papers dropping Brent Bozell after conservative media critic admits he didn’t write his columns
Source: Raw Story
A longtime arch conservative crusader against feminism, secularism, marriage equality and other LGBT rights has been exposed as a figurehead whose books and columns were all written by an uncredited underling. According to Talking Points Memo, one widely-read Iowa newspaper dropped media commentator Brent Bozell’s column in the wake of his exposure and received not a single protest from any reader. Bozell, founder of the far-right Media Research Center, was exposed by media watchdog Jim Romenesko, who revealed that books and columns that Bozell had passed off as his own work were actually written by MRC employee Tim Graham. snip An MRC employee contacted Romenesko via email, saying that Graham is the author of “almost everything published under [Bozell's] name.” Read more: http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/02/19/papers-dropping-brent-bozell-after-conservative-media-critic-admits-he-didnt-write-his-columns/ News Busters gets busted.

17. "feminism, secularism, marriage equality and other LGBT rights"

RawStory's writers are apparently serious about their stories being "raw", as in, not edited. Feminism and secularism are not specifically LGBT rights.. in fact they are not rights at all but movements / schools of thought. Maybe they meant "feminism, secularism, marriage equality and LGBT rights" (dropping "other"

36. At least he can blame someone else for the crappy columns. Unlike George Will or Krauty.
