Stolen Thunder: Martin Peretz Fights His Demons - It's a Draw Peretz has a lot to say; the article is sixteen paragraphs and 2,350 words long, which means it’s either very comprehensive or very evasive in its examination of the Liberal condition. Peretz claims Capitalism “is demoralizing and punishing.” That is incredibly asinine, to attack the only system which allows an individual or group to succeed by the merit of their own work. Peretz laments the demise of Niebuhr, but lamely pretends that the loss of interest in Liberal politics is due to the unreasonable optimism of Liberals. stolenthunder.blogspot.com /2005/02/martin-peretz-fights-his-demons-its.html   (1742 words)

Salon Media The new kid at the New Republic Peretz, for his part, hopes Beinart "will be a lot more aggressive in commissioning, and adventuresome in commissioning, both tightly reported stories and big-idea, heavy-thinking stories." And the kid's a natural. When TNR editor in chief Martin Peretz announced on Sept. 29 that Beinart would be replacing editor Charles Lane (who became an editor at large), there were cackles and catcalls even in jaded New York media circles. And though former editor Kelly complained he was fired for running too many stories critical of Peretz's pal Al Gore (and Salon's Jake Tapper claimed he had a story about Bill Bradley killed by Beinart because it was not critical enough of Gore's opponent), Beinart begs to differ, and points to the evidence at hand. www.salon.com /media/col/elde/1999/12/01/media   (1380 words)
