Always an idealist among opportunists, Brock's entrée to conservatism was admirable enough, as he was a former Kennedy liberal who was turned off by Berkeley protest-ologists who simply shouted down their adversaries, thus betraying the cause of free speech that had galvanized the campus in the glory years of the 1960s.

 Mark Goldblatt on David Brock on National Review Online
The next year, Brock set his sights on bigger game with an investigative piece for The Spectator about Bill Clinton's extramarital adventures during his tenure as governor of Arkansas; Brock alleged that Clinton had used state troopers — in effect, government resources — to cover up his hound-dog ways.
Most recently, in the August 2001 issue of Talk magazine, Brock published an excerpt from a forthcoming book-length mea culpa in which he confessed that he'd intentionally trashed Anita Hill, indiscriminately trusting even farfetched allegations about her personal life while pointedly ignoring evidence damaging to Clarence Thomas's side of the story.
As for his Troopergate reporting, Brock admitted that in his determination to track down Clinton's liaisons and tie them to abuses of political power, he had paid off sources and conjured up dire scenarios out of minor wrongdoings.

 Brock crock watch. - By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Harper's piece is a valuable addition to the Brock literature because it demonstrates that one significant part of Brock's narrative—about how he initially became a conservative—doesn't quite add up.
Harper doesn't dispute Brock's basic claim to have moved right partly out of disgust at the rudeness with which campus leftists shouted down Jeane Kirkpatrick when she spoke at Berkeley in February 1983.
The mistake is characteristic of Brock's tendency to overdramatize his role in the various events he describes (in the May 27 Nation, Christopher Hitchens aptly describes Brock's book as "an exercise in self-love, disguised as an exercise in self-abnegation").
