...wisdom among reputedly knowledgeable political columnists has been that Senator George McGovern probably won't win the Democratic nomination for President because he is unacceptable to the big city and labor leaders who form the nucleus of traditional Democratic party power. Columnists like Rowland Evans and Robert Novak, Stewart Alsop, and James Reston have consistently passed along the information that Democratic powers like Chicago Mayor Richard Daley and AFL-CIO President George Meany cannot support McGovern's candidacy. They have, however, rarely been able to quote sources to back up their claims...
...Cabinet appointees of the twisted coverage to come. As Keogh perceives it, those fears proved more than justified. He exempts some publications and individuals from criticism, such as U.S. News & World Report, FORTUNE, the Chicago Tribune and the New York Daily News, Columnists Max Lerner and Joseph and Stewart Alsop, NBC's Herbert Kaplow and ABC's Howard K. Smith. But he indicts big journalism generally-not for a liberal conspiracy, as some do, but for a "condition of conformity" that bends the news to fit liberal preconceptions.

...higher than the actual figure. Saigon officials had been claiming that U. S. planes and helicopter gunships flying in support of ARVN troops had killed some 14,000 rebel troops in Laos. President Nixon had been emphasizing the importance of these North Vietnamese "losses" in recent statements, and Joseph Alsop, the ever-obliging hawk columnist, went so far as to treat his readers of two days ago to a lurid description of how some 500 North Vietnamese troops were incinerated in a single air strike recently...
