Not to say anything that isn’t totally flattering about the recently departed, Tim Graham, but let me assure you that the Wanniski Media Guides were anything but serious studies of the American press corps. I know, for example, that Wanniski had a side deal of some kind with the Washington Times (what sort of side deal I don’t know) that led him to write about the paper in extremely kindly terms. I worked there at the time in a fairly senior position, and I can assure you, we all knew the thing was a joke even though it said nice things about us.
