michael indeed worked as an intern and later as a reporter. that's where he was working when i first met him and made friends with him. fareed zakaria and jonathan meacham have again very, very thinly veiled starring roles as media personalities, media brands, and not in a good way. there's a website called wretched.com which seems to be 90% gawker.com and maybe 10% media matters, although i'm happy to be stood corrected if need be. one of the go invade iraq guys named daniel pipes makes an appearance in michael's book as daniel tubes, tubes instead of pipes. another go invade iraq guy kenneth pollack makes an appearance in michael's book as kenneth pollack, the go invade iraq guy. what's ironic is kenneth pollack just this week is, again, getting quoted credulously again by "the new york times." by a media that, again, is showing itself to be fully capable of sleepwalking the country back into another iraq
