EVELYN NIEVES HAS ANOTHER PUFF PIECE ON THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT, in tomorrow’s Washington Post. Once again, as with this earlier piece, it seems to rely on movement supporters for all the key quotes, and is completely lacking in any sort of skepticism. My favorite quote:

“I said that all mothers should automatically be against war,” Reed said. “It was against their nature to be violent instead of nurturing.” Maybe, she said, it was time to start a movement — Mothers Against War.

Reed is a “retired Hampshire College drama teacher” — not exactly evidence in support of Nieves’ largely unsupported assertion that the antiwar movement is expanding beyond the usual suspects.

Is it “creeping Rainesism?” I hope not. Even staffers at The New York Times are weary of Raines’ biases.
