Last night I got an email from Confederate Yankee<\/a> who has often been running point on the Beauchamp\/The New Republic story for the entire blogoshere. He asked me to support a boycott he was starting against The New Republic. Of course\u00c2\u00a0I said\u00c2\u00a0I would, then I fell asleep waiting for the Redskins to score<\/a>. But I’m refreshed this morning and so so here’s the gist of the plan from CY;<\/p>\n

We know that TNR<\/em> allowed all three of Scott Beauchamp’s stories to be published without being competently fact-checked, if fact-checked at all.<\/p>\n

We know that the editors of TNR<\/em>, led by Franklin Foer, lied when they said that the stories had been competently fact-checked, we know they deceived their readers and misled at least one civilian expert in an attempt to create a whitewash of an investigation.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

We know The New Republic<\/em> attempted to stonewall their way through obvious, blatant, and grievous breaches of journalistic ethics. In so doing, they have attacked the service, integrity, and honor of an entire company of American soldiers serving in a combat zone to avoid taking responsibility for their own editorial and ethical failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’d ask U.S. military veterans, military families, active duty personnel, and the vast majority of Americans who support our servicemen and women to call these companies, institutions and agencies to pull their advertising from TNR<\/em>, effective immediately.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We cannot force The New Republic<\/em> to behave honorably, but we can make their dishonesty come at a price.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m 100% behind this – Beauchamp has at least decided to rehabilitate himself, on the other hand, TNR hasn’t shown the least bit of remorse for their skullduggery.<\/p>\n
