WHAT DID CNN KNOW, AND WHEN DID IT KNOW IT? The New Republic is asking.

I’ll have more up over at GlennReynolds.com shortly, too.

UPDATE: It’s up, now. Also, Rand Simberg is wondering why we should trust CNN’s reporting from Damascus or, well, lots of other places. And Tony Adragna wonders if it isn’t really a case of “Ritterism.” Ouch. But this suggested motto isn’t much kinder: “We had to suppress the news in order to cover it.” That kind of sums up how a lot of things have changed in 30 years, actually.
