More Bad Press for Howie

WaPo‘s media columnist and CNN “Reliable Sources” host Howard Kurtz has been getting walloped with bad press as of late. The most recent thwack came Wednesday when Columbia Journalism Review in a lengthy story by Zachary Roth slammed him for staying silent on TNR Editor and Owner Martin Peretz’s blog post earlier this month: “Muslim life is cheap. I wonder whether I need honor these people and pretend that they are worthy of the privileges of the First Amendment which I have in my gut the sense that they will abuse.”
