[lbo-talk] Hersh talk at U of C

[Jeffrey Fisher]

did the new yorker in fact editorially support the war? i'm confused by 
this, as i've only seen negative pieces from the new yorker and a 
friend insists that this is just untrue. the exchange below becomes 
completely bizarre if the premise is false.
