>Vanity Fair (yes, of all places!)
Vanity Fair had Christopher Hitchens as a contributing editor for a long time.
I'd say that alone gives them some journalistic credibility.
- dopamean 13y agoSeriously. I'm always baffled by statements like, "Vanity Fair is actually really good!" Yes, they do good reporting. They also cover fashion and lifestyles very well too.
- majani 13y agoClaiming that fashion and entertainment don't matter is a meme amongst some people who long to be seen as intellectually superior.
- sampsonjs 13y agoHitchens is the guy who claimed the Viet Cong/NLF never used car bombs, right? Saddam was working with AQ all along? And lots of other bullshit? No, he was a disgrace, and that rag's association with him does not reflect well on them.
- icebraining 13y agoclaimed the Viet Cong/NLF never used car bombs, right? No, that's not what he claimed. He claimed they didn't use car bombs "on American or any other foreign soil," which doesn't negate the use of such bombs on Vietnamese soil. I don't have strong feelings for or against Hitchens, by the way.
- hudibras 13y agoYup, Vanity Fair is a good magazine in spite of Chris Hitchens, not because of him.
