	David Brock Makes Noise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Brock claims that the conservative agenda includes telling Americans 'that any advance gained by a member of a minority group amounted to `reverse discrimination.'" Brock is so stuck in the muddy roads of liberal thinking that he cannot but embrace these anti-intellectual clichés.
		Brock goes on to argue that while liberal journalists and pundits try to be fair and impartial, the conservative counterparts are hard-nosed ideologues.
		Brock, in case you don't get it.) The issue is not always the bias of a particular reporter, but the assumptions that determine what is covered in the first place.

	David Brock - dKosopedia
		Brock was a prominent conservative journalist of the 1990s, but in 1998 he rejected it and embraced liberalism and now works to dismantle the conservative media "machine" of which he was once a part.
		Brock began leaning to the right as a reporter and editor for a student newspaper at the University of California, Berkeley.
		A large number of conservative commentators have attacked Brock's veracity since his "transformation": their common opinion is that Brock has often lied in the past, regardless of his professed political motivations, even when he is admitting his past errors.

		Brock now says that, when he was writing for the conservative magazine The American Spectator and researching his book The Real Anita Hill, he was a tool of right wing activists who fed him false information about Hill.
		Brock tells Totenberg he even tried to contact Hill in 1998 to apologize, but ultimately "didn't have the guts" to talk to her.

		David Brock: I came out of the closet in the middle of my Spectator tenure, so obviously at some point Scaife did know, but the conservatives didn't care about that so long as I was politically useful.
		David Brock: I'm not sure that they knew of his background with the American Spectator, which is clearly a conflict of interest.

		Brock’s advantage over them in finding a readership willing to believe his stories again is that he is selling a message his new political allies are eager to hear.

		Brock's thorough investigation of the evidence in the Thomas-Hill hearings concluded that there was no reason to believe Anita Hill's accusations of sexual harassment against Clarence Thomas.
		Brock's book--a national sensation which landed on the New York Times bestseller list--is the definitive rebuttal of Hill's charges.
		My own perspective is that Brock got it right on this one, a well researched investigative report on Anita Hill and the left's campaign to discredit a man whose only crime was being fl and conservative.

		DAVID BROCK: Yes, he definitely did that under a pseudonym, and charged the Clintons - both of the Clintons - with a multitude of felonies, including a list of, in his opinion, the years in jail that they ought to have served for these crimes.
		DAVID BROCK: I had to make a decision about whether to publicly say I was gay or not, back in '94, after the Troopergate story -- about what the repercussions would be for my career.

	The closet on the Right - gay journalist David Brock writes about politician Michael Huffington - Interview Advocate, ...
		David Brock, the gay journalist who helped make Paula Jones a household name, has been a lightning rod in national politics and journalism for nearly a decade.
		Brock was a regular on the Washington, D.C., gay bar scene, and because of his gossip-tinged reporting and connection to the antigay right, his homosexuality had inevitably become an issue.
		Today, Brock is at work on a book about what he calls the "collapse of Newt Gingrich's revolution." In an April 1998 Esquire open letter to the president, Brock apologized to Clinton for his salacious Spectator articles and attacked the conservative movement's fixation on Clinton's personal life.

	Reporter Apologizes For Clinton Sex Article - March 10, 1998
		WASHINGTON (AllPolitics, March 10) -- In 1993, reporter David Brock set the stage for the president's current legal problems by revealing Bill Clinton's alleged sexual escapades while he was governor of Arkansas, in a story published in the conservative magazine The American Spectator.
		Brock said in the letter he was as sure of the story when he wrote it as any journalist can be, but in the years since then, the troopers greatly damaged their credibility.
		Brock told CNN the genesis of his open letter to the president was a conversation he had with his editor at Esquire when Clinton was being deposed in the Jones case, before the Lewinsky matter came into public view.

	David Brock, liar. By Timothy Noah - Slate Magazine
		The hopeful liberal narrative about David Brock, peddled by Hertzberg, Rich, Tomasky, and Brock himself, is that the conservative movement made Brock a distorter and a liar, and that the distortions and lies were all in the service of that movement.
		Brock probably means that he had never gotten to know a Democrat working in politics particularly well, which is possible.
		Chatterbox's notes, Brock said: "I think there's a sense that some of what they did was exaggerated or over the top—it was in your face, and it was consciously that way, the excesses of youth or whatever.

		Brock accepted, and at that gathering Buell introduced him to other potential contributors, whose donations would become part of the more than $2 million Brock has so far raised for Media Matters.
		Other than a friendly interview by the Today show's Katie Couric, Brock has received far less attention for his new project than he received in 2002 when he published Blinded by the Right, the book in which he confessed to having lied in some of the stories he wrote for conservative publications in the 1990s.

		David Brock made his name (and big money) by trashing Anita Hill as "a little bit nutty and a little bit slutty." But it was Brock's reporting that was nutty and slutty, he confesses in the riveting memoir Blinded by the Right.
		Brock engaged in a seedy form of journalism in which the end justified the means - i.e., it's OK to lie if it is necessary to achieve a desirable goal.
		Brock's homosexuality was no problem in college because he attended the University of California at Berkeley where in the 1970s being gay was no big deal.

		The particular column he didn't like was the one of Nov. 26 about the now-infamous ABC Monday Night Football ad starring fl football star Terrell Owens and white sexpot Nicolette Sheridan.
		What bothered Brock was that I denounced the ad as subverting not only "morals and good taste" but also "white racial and cultural identity" through its deliberate glorification of interracial sex.
		What does worry me is that anyone takes frauds like David Brock seriously at all, but to judge from the hate mail I've received and similar demands for me to be muzzled, apparently many do.

	Fight or flight? - Salon
		Brock's book, which must rank as the most sickening -- and entertaining -- exploration of the underside of American politics ever written, has rocketed up the bestseller lists.
		The fact is, none of Brock's most damning allegations in "Blinded by the Right" have been knocked down by the media or his conservative critics.
		With the exception of David Horowitz, who strongly denies Brock's claim that he made homophobic comments to a book editor he did not know was gay, no one has plausibly challenged even Brock's minor charges.

		In his new life, Brock retained all the habits of his journalistic path and in particular the determination that political opponents should not only be disputed but utterly discredited.
		Brock was now working as a research assistant for Sidney Blumenthal, the political operative who, as a former top advisor and confidante to President Clinton, had set about defaming the women whom Clinton had wronged.
		According to Brock, the very fact that the mainstream media outlets are associated in the popular consciousness with leftwing politics evidences the right's domineering influence and proves that the political center of gravity has shifted rightward.

	David Brock's apostasy. By Laura Kipnis - Slate Magazine
		Brock has made an excellent second career out of flamboyantly renouncing his first career, which was spent writing inflammatory, innuendo-laden smear jobs on the ultra-right American Spectator's political opponents—until conscience struck, circa 1997.
		The book flopped, and his friends stopped inviting him to their parties: David Brock was no longer boy wonder of the rabid right; he was mud.
		Brock's few remaining supporters on the right barely knew what to do with themselves, they were so apoplectic.

		Conservative writer David Brock received nearly $40,000 from the American Spectator's Arkansas Project, project records show, despite claims by Spectator editors that Brock had nothing to do with the controversial Clinton-bashing project.
		Brock has lately claimed to have been part of the so-called Arkansas Project, he was not," Spectator editor in chief R. Emmett Tyrrell and executive editor Wladyslaw Pleszczynski wrote to Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
		Brock also says he recalls a trip to Hot Springs, Ark., to meet with Parker Dozhier, a fishing resort proprietor who was working for the Arkansas Project and, according to Spectator records reported in previous Salon investigations, was paid $48,000 by the magazine for his services.

	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.

		And Brock's new story--that he was taken in by a vast right-wing conspiracy--is just as much of a lie as his earlier ones.
		On page 121 Brock makes the demented assertion that the GOP had "virtually launched an antigay pogrom," before sobbing, "there was far less ideological affinity between the GOP and me than when I had first come to Washington.
		Brock masks his deep-seated mendacity from others and (perhaps) from himself by a simple if contemptible device of rhetoric.
