Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com yet to correct false Princeton assault story

Summary: FrontPageMag.com, the "online magazine" of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, posted an excerpt from a New York Sun article published that day detailing allegations by a Princeton University student who claimed he had been assaulted because of his conservative views. However, while the Sun updated its story to report that Nava admitted to police that "he fabricated the assault," FrontPageMag.com has yet to acknowledge that the entire story was fabricated.

3. Duh, yes, Freedom Center ...
... meaning he has the freedom to print any story - true or not - that he finds orbiting around the center of his little pea-brain.

4. NOW I get it!
Thanks! I knew there had to be a rational explanation for the phrase.

5. Yeah. Formerly known as the Center for the Study of Popular Culture.
Funded by Richard Mellon Scaife.

Recently big behind Islamo-Fascist Awareness Week. What a party that was.

Maybe a better name for the organization would be Center for The Study of the Culture of Unpopular People.
