Who is John Cloud and Why is He So Helplessly Deluded?
John Cloud is the author of that puff piece on Ann Coulter in Time that has made so many recoil. The Columbia Journalism Review Daily interviews him about the piece and I was immediately struck by a few things:
- * What qualifications does he have for writing for Time?
* Comparing the Coulter cover to the Michael Moore cover is specious; Moore was put on the cover because everyone was talking about his work, both favorably and not while Coulter is doing nothing new
* What planet did Cloud live on that he couldn't do any research whatsoever to prove false any of Coulter's claims? You don't have to be a news junkie to see through her constant veil of lies.
