Lee Siegel, The New Republic’s Sock Puppet

12:08 am EST September 2nd, 2006 | Media | Comments Off

Lee Siegel 7/28/06, writing in the pro-Lieberman anti-Democrat New Republic:

On my own New Republic blog, I called the entire political blogosphere fascistic and coined the term “blogofascism.”

TNR 9/1/06

After an investigation, The New Republic has determined that the comments in our Talkback section defending Lee Siegel’s articles and blog under the username “sprezzatura” were produced with Siegel’s participation. We deeply regret misleading our readers. Lee Siegel’s blog will no longer be published by TNR, and he has been suspended from writing for the magazine.

This round, apparently, goes to the blogofascists.
