Franklin Foer: "Fixer"

Scott Johnson of Powerline provides the perfect commentary to match the news concerning Columbia Magazine's profile of Franklin Foer.

clipped from www.powerlineblog.com The current issue of Columbia Magazine carries a profile by Tim Warner of New Republic editor Franklin Foer celebrating him as "the fixer" who is resuscitating the magazine. (The profile is not available online at present. Thanks to reader Robert Avery for sending me a copy today.) If not the most poorly timed article in the history of journalism, it is nevertheless laughable in light of the ordeal inflicted on the magazine by its Baghdad fabulist and will to believe him on the part of "the editors."
