Fact Checking Holiday at the Times

Ed Morrissey fact-checks Nicholas Kristof's latest column in the New York Times. Captain Ed say's Kristof's distortions are "obscene." That's being charatable--Morrissey shows Kristof's a liar. Will the Times run a correction?

I don't think so either.

More:

Best of the Web has more details: "Kristof has alighted on a statistical artifact of American excellence and misconstrued it as a sign of America's shortcomings." A pithy discription of American liberals.

Still More:

Friday's Best of the Web quotes UNICEF suggesting that third-world statistics, such as used by Krostof, are wildly inaccurate.
