DANIEL DREZNER LOOKS AT THE LATEST SALVO in The New York Times’ jihad against Wal-Mart, and is deeply unimpressed: “This leads to a fundamental question — what on earth motivated the New York Times to put this article on the front page of its Business section? Properly headlined, an article that blares, ‘Little Money Flowing Between Wal-Mart and Washington Think Tanks’ wouldn’t even have run, much less on the front page.”

UPDATE: David Bernstein spots an amusing double standard in the story.
