Bob Novak - Biased and Untrustworthy

Bob Novak - Biased and Untrustworthy

In an August 9 op-ed piece in the Washington Times titled "Veterans Against Kerry," Novak gives support to the emergence of the "Unfit for Command" book as a "passionate but meticulously researched account of how Kerry went to war." He continues to repeat this claim on CNN, What was unknown to readers of Novak's column, and is unknown by CNN viewers, is that Novak's son, Alex Novak, is the director of marketing for Regnery Publishing Inc., which published the book.

This is the same Bob Novak who, in July 2003, disclosed the name of CIA operative Valerie Plame (placing her in extreme danger) without alerting editors that he had considered and rejected a CIA request to withhold her name.
