AIRBRUSH AWARD: Check out Eugene Volokh’s report on how VH1 turned post 9/11 boos aimed at Hillary Clinton into cheers. Volokh asks: “I suppose one shouldn’t expect great history from VH1, but isn’t there still some expectation of accuracy when someone distributes what purports to be a DVD of an actual concert? Or has the whole music business become Milli-Vanilli-ified?” Pretty much, I think.
UPDATE: Andrew Stuttaford notes, “This is something to remember the next time you hear about the ‘suppression of dissent’ post-9/11.”
