Howard Kurtz’s Washington Post story on new NY Times number 2 (number 2A?) Jill Abramson omits her most famous work, at least to conservatives: her book-length attack on Clarence Thomas (“Strange Justice”), later made into a Showtime movie in a further attempt to humiliate Thomas. Everything Anita Hill said was true, apparently, which is not the way Abramson approached Bill Clinton’s accusers in the pages of the Times as she rose to power. In contrast to the Kurtz portrait that she doesn’t fear criticism, remember that she and co-author Jane Mayer roamed national TV studios far and wide with the (accepted) demand that they never had to debate (then-conservative) David Brock. As Paul Gigot gently noted on C-SPAN this morning, she’ll fit in well with the ultralib NYT “worldview.”
