		Joe Conason: I can't explain why the media wouldn't give sufficient play to that kind of story -- but ignoring it certainly shows that the "liberal media" is a myth.
		Joe Conason: The story of Bush's actual connections with Enron was a bit too complex for the US media, which focused on whether the White House did any specific favors for Enron when the company was tanking.
		Joe Conason: Blogging is unlikely to overtake traditional news outlets for one reason: bloggers rarely report news and lack the resources to do that job.

	BuzzFlash Interviews Joe Conason
		Joe Conason: I started to become skeptical of Starr not too long after he was appointed, but I didn't start to write about him in any kind of sustained way for a couple of years.
		Joe Conason: They didn't like the investigation of somebody they had endorsed, who was from their party, of total integrity -- he had prosecuted Democrats and Republicans as U.S. Attorney.
		Joe Conason: I think this was the end result of a long series of unchecked abuses by partisan conservative members of the Supreme Court.

	Spinsanity - Big Lies and little mistakes
		Conason is correct that these searches can be deeply misleading (as we have noted elsewhere).
		According to data from the federal Mine Safety and Health Administration, there were 29 coal-mining fatalities in 1998, 35 in 1999, 38 in 2000, and 42 in 2001 (the total number of mining fatalities actually declined in the first year of the Bush administration, from 85 in 2000 to 72 in 2001).
		Conason's book is a polemic, not an academic work, and deserves to be judged as such.

		Joe Conason is co-author with Gene Lyons of the seminal book on the vast right wing conspiracy that attempted to undo democracy by trying to impeach Clinton.
		CONASON: I have to tell you I think that the televised media, particularly on cable TV, are very much skewed in favor of conservatives, so that even if the Democrats were out there screaming about the immorality of the Republicans, they really wouldn't get time on cable.
		CONASON: When I wrote that in the introduction, I guess that I was probably thinking mostly about the accusations involving patriotism, or the lack of patriotism, among Democrats and liberals.

	Joe Conason Exposes "Big Lies" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Joe Conason, a regular contributor to the New York Observer and Salon.com exposed the shameful motives and deceptions behind the so-called "White Water Scandal" (with co-author Gene Lyons) in The Hunting of the President.
		Conason writes for the New York Observer and Salon.com and is the co-author of The Hunting of the President, an account of the hounding of the Clintons by a cadre of radical Republicans who considered Bill Clinton an illegitimate president.
		Conason replays the Clinton-era scandals and the sorry record of Clinton's chief antagonists in Congress, but he also fills in various sideshows, like the GOP homosexual-baiting campaign against Tom Foley, the Democratic speaker of the House (1989-'95), launched by Newt Gingrich's lieutenants.

	American Politics Journal -- The APJ Interview
		Conason: Gene and I were part of a small -- very small -- fraternity of skeptics of Whitewater, of which Gene was kind of the founder and which I joined a couple years later.
		Conason: But the truth is, Dick Scaife, whom you couldn't characterize as "Corporate America," started on this trail long before the Health Care Plan became the biggest issue.
		Conason: I would say there are several of them who were working simultaneously who came together.

	[No title]
		Between 1970 and 1980 Joe Conason did filmed interviews to document stories about the newspaper and his anarchist grandfather (who would probably be ashamed that his grandson has become a Democratic Party sycophant).
		Conason was suspended from school for a day for distributing his paper on campus without prior administration approval.
		But after Conason was rejected by every top-drawer college to which he applied, he began and continues to blame this not on his own inadequacy but on getting that one-day suspension for his noble radical journalism.

	Bookreporter.com - BIG LIES by Joe Conason
		BIG LIES, by political writer Joe Conason, is one of those books that has begun to peel away and expose that element of conservative politics that cares little for the truth.
		In addition, Conason points out numerous examples in the past two elections, where print and electronic media found fault with liberal politicians when similar actions by conservatives were ignored.
		While conservatives are equally patriotic, Conason does point out the irony that some very brave people have been maligned as unpatriotic by others who, when given the opportunity, avoided service to their country.

	Powell's Books - Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth by Joe Conason
		Joe Conason, whose investigation of the conservative witchhunt of Bill Clinton became a major national bestseller, takes on the most common arguments, myths, and fallacies propounded by the right - and exposes them as the smear tactics they really are.
		Conason has such a good eye for the hypocrisy and follies of the American right, he can even make you laugh a little while you wince.
		Not a lot, says Joe Conason in Big Lies, and the case for prosecution is coolly documented with precision and wit.

	Bill Bradley for President. Joe Conason for Pro-Gore Stooge
		Conason's reply to my reply is at the bottom of this page.
		What, asks Joe Conason in a piece so pathetically pro-Gore that it might have been ghostwritten by Marty Peretz, has presidential candidate Bill Bradley ever done to deserve the support of liberals?
		Clinton and Gore would have us believe that the era of big government is over and that free markets are the be all, end all of a democratic foreign policy.

		Conason's case is substantial, especially in dismissing conservatives' espousal of the free market-arguing that what they really support is selfish crony capitalism (he indicts the Bushes at length)- and in reviewing of Clinton's strong anti-al-Qaida campaign to counter charges that he was "soft" on terrorism.
		Joe Conason is a well-informed journalist who has consistently relied on facts over gossip, research over innuendo and rationale over rhetoric.
		Conason supports his premises succinctly and well; his print and Internet citations are helpful for those readers who want to use certain news articles as a starting point for further research or enlightenment.

		Joe gets left behind while Sid Blumenthal gets to brag to the world that he introduced Bill Clinton to Tony Blair (as if they would never have met without Sid's help).
		If Conason succeeded with his eye-for-an-eye approach he would leave the whole world blind to moral distinctions, because it is only in that world that Bill Clinton can do no wrong.
		Conason simply employs the perniciously cynical and amoral argument that Clintonistas have mastered over the last eight years.

		Conason and Lyons (Fools for Scandal), veteran journalists respectively for the New York Observer and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, argue that if the opposition to the Clintons didn't quite constitute a "vast right-wing conspiracy," as the First Lady famously alleged, it was at the very least a "loose cabal" of "Clinton adversaries,...
		Joe Conason and Gene Lyons describe these sources in The Hunting of the President as a loose cabal of "longtime Clinton adversaries," "defeated politicians, disappointed office seekers, right-wing pamphleteers, wealthy eccentrics, zany private detectives, religious fanatics," and in my view, the primary culprit -- "die-hard segregationists.
		Conason and Lyons describe these things, as well as a mind-boggling array of duplicity, connivance, and avarice on the part of those who sought to destroy Clinton and remove him from office.

	Leftist Salon.Com Writer Joe Conason Is Joe Dirt
		Conason neglects to mention that Rand's definition of "selfishness" was different from the normal everyday one: she didn't believe in exploiting people for one's own gain.
		Rand picked the word "selfishness" because she wanted to show how leftists like Conason use that very term to psychologically manipulate people: leftists employ the popular definition's emotional connotation (murderous, robbing "selfishness") and then equate it with the second definition (harmlessly seeking one's self-interest at nobody's expense).
		Leftist Salon.com writer Joe Conason, author of Big Lies: The Right-Wing Propaganda Machine and How It Distorts the Truth, is accused of spreading misinformation about ABC News reporter John Stossel in the second half of this piece.

		Apparently, digging around for ‘other women’ with regard to John Kerry is an afront to journalistic standards according to Conason.
		However, in 1992 he was apparently willing not to adhere to such standards when writing sexual hit pieces on President Bush.
		Jay posted a piece by Joe Conason in which Conason suggested Matt Drudge lacked journalistic standards for running with the gossip story about Kerry’s alleged affair (a story which now seems to be losing steam fast).

		Conason is talking about Halliburton making a killing selling equipment to NASA, but if that were the case surely he would focus less on the drilling and exploration of Mars per se and more on the sale of equipment to NASA?

		IMHO, Conason is a weasel and a fraud of mythic proportion.
		Conason, without a shred of evidence or a source with a real name, wrote an article for the now-defunct Spy magazine alleging that President George H.W. Bush was a philanderer, just like the rumors about Bill Clinton.
		Conason, nobody had yet to ask her about the cattle futures and push the issue beyond Hillary's reply of "That's old news."
