To see this film which was later debunked, if true, would have raised every American's hackles in middle class, unemployed, struggling to educate their children, pay their housing, living expenses and stay ahead of their debts homes.. Picked up and widely circulated by those who, like much of today's media, do not check their sources, I found another example of its circulation. Click here.
If you scroll down, you will see that even Charles Krauthammer seems to have been taken in. I've never terribly respected him and do so less now if he actually wrote an article in that magazine.
I decided to check the ABOUT on the site. This is what it says:
What is All Right Magazine?
"All Right Magazine is devoted to bringing its readers hard-hitting, thought-provoking, innovative analysis of the major issues of our times. We welcome readers who share our points of view or who our inspired by our words to submit articles for possible publication on our site.

There is a link for submissions, and the editor can be reached at editor@allrightmagazine.com.
Note the request for 'people who share their views'. (Democracy leaning need not apply.)The old newspaper rule of checking three sources seems to have been dropped by most people publishing as though they are legitimate news outlets. It shows more reasons why one should not believe the talking heads and only very cautiously believe what you read on the Internet..

AFACT Charles Krauthammer was not taken in by the Salishan story. The All Right Magazine article on Salishan did link to a Krauthammer op-ed, but the op-ed at the end of the link says nothing about Salishan. The Krauthammer piece argues that the Social Security system is reaching insolvency, but does not attribute this to construction projects. I searched the web, and I could not anything that Krauthammer has written or said about Salishan.
I believe his article was on the link to the All Right Magazine.
I noted in my comment that the All Right story included a link to this Krauthammer column:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/10/AR2011031004683.html?nav=rss_business/industries
If you follow the link and read the column, however, you will find that Salishan is never mentioned in this column. The only connection between Krauthammer and the Salishan is that All Right Magazine story linked to one of his columns, something the writers at All Right can do without Charles Krauthammer's permission or even knowledge.
I've had my disagreements with Krauthammer, but I cannot support the charge that he was fooled by the Salishan story, because the evidence simply isn't there.
Like you, I have never liked the man and his opinions. However, I would not want to foster untruths about him either.
