Could the New York Post Be More Hypocritical?
Of Course It Could
by Ron Hogan
Today's Page Six has this tidbit: "Michael Moore Is a Big Fat Stupid White Man. That's the title of an upcoming tome from ReganBooks by Jason Clarke and David T. Hardy, the creators of two Web sites devoted to exposing the filmmaker's hypocrisy..."
As usual, the Post, always ready to throw a hissy fit when a Simon & Schuster author goes on CBS without it being trumpeted that Viacom owns them both, refuses to practice what it preaches and acknowledge that ReganBooks is a subdivision of HarperCollins owned by Rupert Murdoch, the same fellow who pays their salaries. If the Post wants to give free ad space to HarperCollins, that's fine and dandy, but Col Allen should have the integrity not to disguise those blurbs as legitimate news.
