# Posted 7:51 PM by Ariel David Adesnik Here's my advice for Kevin and all of you who have an interest in the UK media: make a mental note if you see something interesting, but don't believe it until the NYT or WaPo reprints it. If something is important and true, the US media will pick it up. Of course, that advice doesn't really work for British domestic politics, since US papers don't really cover it. When it comes to that, I dunno. Anyhow, Kevin adds that he was so interested in getting to the bottom of the Wolfowitz affair because he doesn't "like to see liberals make fools of themselves." Neither do I. And I don't like to see conservatives make fools of themselves either. But the real question is why there are fools at all, liberal or conservative. Without going too far into it, I'd say the answer is a lack of patience. For good reasons, the media prizes being the first with the story above all else. The real test of integrity is whether we are willing to admit our own foolishness when it comes to that. (0) opinions -- Add your opinion
